“Design, media and creative people are normally very tech savvy because of the technologies they use daily. Xero fits them very well for accounting as it’s cloud-based and feature-rich. Unlike other accounting systems, Xero is built for business owners, and with the modern UI it’s straightforward to get the information and reports you need in real time.”

“Beyond are one of first accounting companies to fully embrace and provide the benefits of new digital tools in Ireland. The service they provide is pragmatic, economical and fully future-proofed. Apart from their innovative approaches and leadership in integrated business techniques, they are simply nice people to work with who are both always-available and affable. This is rare. The IDI recommends Beyond unreservedly to those who work in the creative industries because of the above reasons and because of the inbuilt scalability of their packages which can cater for the micro start-up right up to large mature enterprises.”
