"In the two years since setting up my business, i've had to change accountants twice – not out of choice but because was growing and I felt that they couldn't support me as much as I needed. When I met Riz to have a chat about our mutual businesses he explained how they worked and we just clicked. They set me up on Clearbooks so all my invoices are being logged as we're doing them and we both have access so that updates are immediate. I can now run reports on my own to get an overview of my financial situation at any time – a huge advantage for any small business. Riz and his 2E team have revolutionised my life – no more spending weekend doing VAT or Tax returns and i'm confident that everything is in perfect order in their hands!"
