The opinions of some of our current customers
I'd heard good things about Crunch and they haven't disappointed
“I got married, bought a house and wanted the security of working as a limited company… and then I found out about Crunch. I do most of my business activities online so it makes sense for me to do my accounting online as well. I’d heard good things about Crunch and they haven’t disappointed. The good thing is that you’ve got actual people looking after your accounts. It’s nice to have friendly people on the end of the phone and they made it very easy to set up a limited company.”
Gabriel Schucan, Gabriel Schucan Ltd
Crunch does the worrying for me
“Using Crunch is very straightforward. The system has helped me become more disciplined with my accounting because I simply deal with everything that needs doing, as and when it arrives online. It lets you know exactly what needs to be done, leaving you to just do it. The great thing is, I don’t have to worry about my VAT returns or end-of-year accounts – Crunch does the worrying for me. I would recommend Crunch to anyone who wants to run their accounts more effectively.”
Benjamin Ball, Benjamin Ball Associates Ltd
I feed the information and they take care of the rest
"It’s a lot of hassle to gather all your paperwork and then take it over to an accountant. With Crunch it’s so much easier. You just phone up, have a quick chat and do the rest online. Now I can update my accounts any time that I’ve got free minute. Crunch saves me a lot of hassle but ultimately I’m still in control – I feed the information and they take care of the rest. It saves a helluva lot of time for someone like me.”
Masoud Borghei, Pamas Property Services Ltd
It’s designed in such a way that you can’t make any mistakes!
“I had a regular accountant who wasn’t particularly approachable and didn’t explain things in a simple manner. The people at crunch are very friendly and they help you understand by using everyday language. I’m not much of a figures person, so Crunch has been a great help and it’s all very easy to use. The online system is very simple. It’s designed in such a way that you can’t make any mistakes. Everything is very clearly labelled for you.”
Julie Binchet, Rocket Ruby Ltd
Switching to Crunch is easy, whatever your situation ...
Sole trader
Being a sole trader is a cheap alternative to the complex process of running a limited company ... right? Wrong! Running a limited company with Crunch is easy and the tax-savings are potentially huge for most people choosing this route. The idea that sole trading is easy is a relic of old accountancy thinking.
Jays ShorttI wanted an accountancy service with low fixed costs. I’ve known people starting up who’ve had to pay out huge annual fees for their accounting. But Crunch has definitely saved me money.
Umbrella company
Many people trade via an umbrella company in order to cut out the paperwork. The problem is that you have to pay for the privilege... and you have to pay a lot. On average fees are £120 per month in addition to being less tax efficient. Why do that when running a limited company can be so simple?
Nabila KamranBeing a limited company really adds credibility to your business and it was important for me to meet the needs of my clients. Crunch makes the process really easy.
New business or new LTD
Starting up your own venture is an extremely exciting time but accounting and organising returns can knock all the fun out of it. Crunch keeps the whole process simple and explains everything without the jargon! You can focus completely on your new venture and give it the best chance of success.
Roland HarwoodI hadn’t run a limited company before, and I was surprised by how easy it was to get my business up and running with Crunch. One of the main benefits for us is that it does everything in one place.
Existing LTD
You've probably found the process of keeping everything up-to date pretty tiring and somewhat frustrating with nothing being as straight forward as it should be. With you inputting information via an easy-to-use online application, and us doing the rest, you'll be surprised at just how much easier we can make your accounts!
Adam RobertsInstead of hardly seeing my accountant, now I get continuous advice from my account manager as and when I need it ... and the online system also ensures that I am up-to-date with my accounts.
