[foundation-board] Accountancy proposal

Sat Aug 20 08:02:06 UTC 2011

Hi

Thanks for all the replies. I've looked at another accountants firm who I have used in the past - and liked - but they don't do non-profit companies nor do they support Xero. Costings for them are same ball park as the proposal we have before us.

I have found two other accountants who are fairly local to our usual locations (Brighton, London or Cambridge) who do Xero and serve the 'charity sector'. I know nothing about them other than what's on their websites.

I will contact them for quotes next week unless I hear otherwise.

All the best,
Jason
