Testimonials from our Xero Training & Accounting clients

"Scott has been working with us and helping us solve a number of difficulties we were having with our Xero set up and management accounts. He has the ability to quickly understand the issues and provide workable solutions that simplify and correct problems, meaning that we are feeling much more confident in our book-keeping, and making it all much m ore manageable. Very grateful for you help and advice Scott - thank you from The Briars Dental Centre."

“Parkgate Mobility have been having meetings with Scott at Progression Accountancy since last year. To be honest, it is a breathe of fresh air having someone who answers our questions straight away, and understands quickly what we are trying to achieve with Xero. Scott has helped us on many levels, from balancing our Bank to Xero and how to check it each month, how to find which nominal something has been posted to, help with creating Bank Rules etc the list goes on! He is always on hand remotely should we need anything in between his visits. We feel we are now getting more from Xero after our sessions with Scott who describes things in a way we can easily understand, and we have benefitted enormously from his help. We would have no hesitation in recommending Progression Accountancy to any other business with Xero, thanks Scott.”

"Scott and Hayley have always been really helpful and approachable. When we first hired them, our accounts were a bit of a mess and they calmly and quickly set everything up optimally for us. We worked with them for several years now. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they are very good at explaining complex accounting issues in understandable terms. They are really knowledgeable on both Xero specifics and general accounting queries. I have and would strongly recommend them for any small to medium sizes business."

“The initial problem I had was with basic transactions on Invoices & Bills - I had been shown how to do them by someone who had restricted knowledge and I soon realised I wasn’t doing properly. I chose Progression Accountancy because I knew someone who had used them previously and they were strongly recommended as friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Scott very quickly identified the issues I was having and provided excellent tuition to put me on the right track. His manner and knowledge were superb, and everything dropped into place quite quickly. I was quickly able to process invoices and bills confidently without any problems thereafter…. I will definitely request any further training / advice via Progression, a very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful organisation. ”

“The problem we were having was getting started, finding out Bank Rules, reconciliations, and so on. It was disheartening not to be able to see hands on how Xero worked. I looked at your website, spoke to Scott who made me feel that I could do this. You, Scott, have given me the confidence to work with XERO and got me started. You enabled me to build on the foundation that you installed on your site visit and I will always be grateful for this. I am happy working with XERO now, and looking forward to placing our wages onto this system. Support has been excellent, obviously the best thing for me personally is the contact with Scott for advice on certain issues. Once resolved this grows my confidence….”

“As a company we have been using Scott's services for over a year and a half and he was instrumental in us being able to bring our payroll and financial management in house by setting us up and providing training with Xero. Scott is very accommodating and travels to us whenever we have a bigger project that we need assistance with, otherwise he is always available for any questions and responds quickly and explains everything thoroughly. We would highly recommend Scott and look forward to continuing our working relationship going forward.”

“I was having some issues with reconciling Paypal, not being able to find some repeating bills; and understanding the bank reconciliation report. It was confusing & frustrating. In a Zoom call with Scott he guided me through various steps to find out where the issues were and how to fix them. He kept going until we made sure that all the missing items were found. He also took me through the Bank Rec report to explain more about how it works. Whilst I still have lots to learn, I now feel more confident and less confused and these new skills are saving me way more time!.”

"Just a quick message to say a huge thank you for your time yesterday and for the days training on Xero. We are also so grateful for the continued support of Progression Accountancy and look forward to working with you more in the future."

“I can only echo what Jane (Grout) has already said. Thank you so much for all your help and guidance, and for getting us set up on Xero. We can all see how it is going to make life so much easier with managing our accounts!”

“Scott’s expertise in Xero Payroll and his ability to convey complex information in an accessible manner truly stood out during the training session he ran for our team. His patience, clear communication and extensive knowledge made the learning process smooth and enjoyable. We're grateful for his guidance and would absolutely recommend him.”

“Scott helped us when we first started using Xero for our payroll. There was nothing that phased him and he seemed to anticipate our questions before we asked them! Scott’s knowledge is amazing and we would recommend him to anyone looking for help with any aspect of Xero!”

“We're a growing business with increasingly complex needs and were finding that we were unable to do what we wanted to in Xero. Given that none of the small finance team are systems experts we decided to seek external help to understand if there was additional Xero functionality which we weren't utilising. The key issue we wanted to solve was the ability to identify project costs within departments. Scott has been great in listening to our specific needs and talking us through how to set up job codes, which is invaluable for analysis and reporting. We will definitely continue to work with Scott to keep building out better solutions to remove manual processes in future..”

“As a relatively new user to Xero, I was a bit daunted by the various features and was having trouble reconciling my transactions, ready to submit my tax return. I reached out to Scott, having found his details via a Google search and he walked me through the various issues that I was having and also suggested some changes to my setup that I hadn’t even realised were wrong! As a result of engaging Scott, my Xero is now in a much better shape and I was particularly pleased that Scott followed up our session to check that everything was ok and to ask if I needed further assistance. I would happily recommend Scott’s services to others. ”

"I contacted Scott regarding our financial year end as I noticed some differences and had no idea how to correct them as I have only been using Xero for a year. He was able to log in and correct the errors which I was happy with. Scott gave my Xero accounts a general health check and tidy up and corrected anything I was unfamiliar with. This made things so much easier for me which left me feeling very happy. Progression Accountancy are great to deal with and I would highly recommend them."

“Thank you so much Scott! You can’t even imagine how happy I am you came into our world! We can now see the light at the end of the tunnel & I’m very grateful of the amazing job you have done!.”

“You've been a star of the last few months, so glad I took the training with you!”.

“I actually wanted to say thank you, it was a great session, money well spent! Your training was very valuable & very on point!.”

"Thank you for your lovely email and all the support that Scott has given me this year. You are a pleasure to deal with. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me understand Xero and answer my many questions so quickly."

"Over the last couple off years or so I have used Scott for several bespoke projects which have all worked and integrated along side my e-commerce website. His knowledge is excellent, always providing me with realistic solutions to help my business grow, whilst helping me to better understand and learn every step of the way. I’m currently working on my third project with Scott which is nearing completion. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you for all your time and efforts in helping me and my business grow. Don’t waste your time looking for anyone else, I can’t recommend Scott at Progression Accountancy highly enough!"
