When I first started my business I was recommended to another accountant by a friend. I was new to business so I was looking for sound advice that I could follow. What I got was multiple options, no advice and we ended up making some very costly mistakes that would have had long term repercussion if not remedied early. I was telling another friend about my accounting woes and they enthusiastically recommended Openside. Everyone at Openside has been fantastic. From day one they listened to my needs and recommended logical and sound advice that I could follow. We quickly fixed up the problems my previous accountant had caused and set the company up for financial success. From a small one man operation to a successful company employing multiple staff (this year I was a finalist in the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards) Openside has been able to offer the right guidance and advice at the right times. Openside is also ready and willing to go above and beyond when something needs to happen fast, which is a real breath of fresh air in this industry. Nothing’s too hard for them and they always look for a solution to any challenge. So if you’re looking for an accounting firm who are going to do the basics brilliantly and are also going to deliver so much more than a standard accounting firm, then look no further than Openside. They’re also a real pleasure to deal with. I never thought I’d have fun with my accountant but with Openside, every interaction is an opportunity to have a good time.
