David Barry  |  Actor/Writer

What is your reason behind choosing an online bookkeeping service?

It’s simple and quick, and I can access it now and again when I’ve got a few minutes to spare.

When did you sign up?

About two years ago.

How long did it take you get to grips with the software?

Not long. About twenty minutes.

Do you have enough support and training?

Yes, it’s so simple to use there is no need for further training.

How did you keep your books before using the system?

Spread sheets

What kind of business do you run? How does using online accounting help that type of business in particular?

I’m a freelance actor/writer and it makes small business accounting headache free.

How often do you use the software? Is that always to keep your records, or do you check your financial position?

I use it sometimes once a week, but if I’m busy less frequently. And it gives me a rough idea of how I’m doing financially.

Where do you make your entries? i.e. do you tend to logon in your office or place of work, or do you sometimes make entries as they happen whilst on the move?

At home, which is my place of work. I have occasionally used it in the past at a cybernet cafe, but not for a while.
