Highly recommended. Have been using Mike and his team for several years now and have always had a very high level of service.
Mike and his team has been fantastic in helping our FinTech. They have supported us as part of our journey in the last 2.5 years. From super early start-up to our growth path they have been by our side all the way, offering the honest level of required support, with absolute cost transparency. And when they cannot offer complete coverage or do not have the expertise in-house, they partner with bigger companies who can complement their offering. We could not have been luckier in our choice of accountants!
At 4OTC, we use the Finance Department for all accounting needs. I was first introduced to the Finance Department by the founder of another fintech startup. It's one of the best introductions I've ever had. The team have been first class throughout providing support, , accounting and Xero support, payroll, VAT, annual accounts and advise on complex issues affecting Fintech startups. Mike, Emma and the team offer a first class service and we are delighted to work with them. If you need an accountant or accountancy services, they should be your first call.
A thoughtful, honest, efficient service - Highly recommended. When I was starting my business (in London), a friend gave me a list of West Country professional advisors, saying "great service, great advice". 'Fin Dept' have been my accountants ever since. Mike is always available at short notice, wise/experienced and thoughtful. Similarly Emma is diligent and highly responsive. I now always make sure to pass on their contact details to my friends too.
As a founder of a tech business, I have found Mike and team are consistency good to work with. High quality work, fast and responsive and at a sensible price.
TransFICC has been a customer of the Finance dept since we founded in 2016. Mike, Emma and the team have provided us with great support with accounting, financial planning , pay-roll, pensions, R&D claims etc. The outsourced business model is great for start ups and has scaled with our growth up to 35 people. We would highly recommend their service
“We have outsourced our entire accounting function: book-keeping, statutory accounts, taxes and payroll to the Finance Department for several years, using Xero as our shared accounting solution. They provide fantastic value for money and are the perfect complement to Xero, of which their knowledge is commendable.”
"Mike and his team have proved invaluable in assisting transferring our accounting to Xero. His expert accountancy knowledge and executive skills have helped our company to develop a solid financial strategy and identify tangible benefits and savings. We look forward to continuing to work with Mike and building on the sound, practical advice he has provided. A+".
"As a new business Events for Golfers wanted to make sure they started out in the right way with their finances. They approached the finance department initially just to take care of book keeping, for a new business this support has been essential in allowing the business owners to focus on the things that matter most".
"As a rapid growth business Jarrods Staircases needed an accounts and finance solution that was capable of scaling up with the business. Jarrod started out with the essentials package, but now The Finance Department provide advice and services across the spectrum including at Finance Director Level".
"Mike and his team at the Finance Department have recently assisted us with the transition from Sage to Xero. Mike used his commercial and business experience to consult during the early stages, allowing us to demo various features and provided prompt and generous advice on the best way forward. Once we started, the process of transition was seamless and timely. Post implementation, Mike helped us get to grips with Xero (which is extremely user friendly) and continues to be there for support. In short, if you are looking for help with Xero, look no further than Mike and his team".
“I have known Mike for 15 years and would highly recommend The Finance Department. This is the second time I have used his outsourced accounting services for a UK subsidiary. Mike and his team have done a wonderful job forming our UK company and setting it up in Xero, managing our accounting, payroll, payments and VAT. The team is always responsive and available when needed, and I know Mike is a phone call away if I need him.”
