Michael has helped me set up SAGE and an accounting system for my small retail business. From his bid I could already see how knowledgeable and approachable he was. He has helped me tremendously, has been very specific in all the advice he gave me, very thorough in his work and very good at SAGE training. I would not hesitate in recommending him for any accounting related queries.

It is my pleasure to highly recommend Michael Copping as a qualified accountant, bookkeeper, tax advisor, and accounting software instructor. I recently employed Michael to prepare my company’s year-end accounts and company tax returns, transfer bookkeeping to computer, and provide SAGE training. Michael prepared the company accounts and records on time, at very short notice, and to the highest standard, whilst at the same time providing me with a comprehensive understanding of accounting related issues relevant to my company. Michael is an excellent teacher, with great communication skills. Despite having very little experience of accounting software and bookkeeping prior to my training with Michael, I am now able to run my books and all related work on SAGE. Michael went out of his way to provide an exemplary service. My list of work and advice required was rather extensive, yet Michael managed to cover every last item within the time agreed. From our first communications Michael has been extremely efficient, knowledgeable and passionate in his field, helpful and conscientious.
