Discover Crunch Zero
"I had a trial with Crunch and instantly made a decision to move my business over because of two things that are very important to any business owner. Firstly, the Crunch software is so much more user-friendly than any other accounting software, saving me time and making life so much easier. It also helped me save over £800 a year whilst still providing me with access to their knowledge, expertise, and great customer service."
"When comparing Crunch to a traditional accountant, you need to be aware that you aren’t comparing a like-for-like service. There’s still a widely held belief that an accountant is someone you need to visit, but the vast majority of the services you buy are all handled via phone and email, so why should an accountant be any different? A traditional accountant will charge for services as and when you need them, so rather than having access to a team of experts year-round, you’ll pay for a "one-off service" at the end of the year. Face-to-face meetings with an accountant aren’t even possible given the Coronavirus lockdown, so even more reason to consider an online service like Crunch."
"To file a set of accounts with a traditional accountant, you can expect to pay £1,800 +VAT or more. Crunch can do this for under £800 +VAT. If you have VAT returns to be submitted, personal taxes to be filed, or require bespoke advice, this can also come at a cost which can easily push your quote over £2,000 +VAT per annum. Another consideration is the cost of accountancy software - usually, you’ll need to pay for a subscription adding additional cost. At Crunch we’ve incorporated all of this into one monthly payment: all your software, expert advice, and service in one place, for one great value price"
