The Genus team have been really helpful; they’ve helped us to switch from our old accounts package onto Xero. That’s meant changing some of our working practices, so they’ve been coming and sitting alongside our bookkeepers and helping them to make those changes, devising new reports for us and new working practices, which has been great.

I would recommend Shorts as a forward-looking accountancy practice - I think they are very up to date, very modern in their approach and very approachable, friendly and very professional.

Sue Morton
Abbeydale Brewery

I would highly recommend the Short’s Project Team, they quickly understood our business and recommended the best fit to fulfil our needs.

Having used the Genus team now for over 12 months they have provided real value and insights into the numbers and most importantly good narratives on the management accounts and what they actually mean. We now have a much better understanding of the business's performance and most importantly where improvements need to be made.

Charlie Buckley
Clovertec

We recently introduced a new accounting system. The advice and support received from Gary and his team has contributed significantly to the project being completed without any issues. There’s always going to be queries raised when the new system starts getting used and it’s good to know that ongoing support will be there from the Genus team.
