Dan followed the path of many small business owners by initially picking up freelance work on the side of his full-time job. His company Everstack, which builds web, mobile, or desktop applications, now has multiple clients and sponsors a local technology user-group called .NET Oxford.

“Crunch has helped me by making accounting much easier to manage in a stress-free way - meaning that I can focus on my business and not worry about the accounting side of things.”

When starting out, Dan knew he’d need the expertise of an accountant. He says: “Don't try to do the accounting yourself. There's much more to it than you think, and this time could be much better spent working on your business domain rather than working out how to do your tax (and probably getting it wrong!).”

“My favourite thing about Crunch is that I can do everything from a well-designed portal/dashboard. From expenses and invoices, to bank reconciliation and taxes - it's all in one place, and is very easy and efficient to use.”

If you’re already freelancing on the side and thinking about following in Dan’s footsteps, then Crunch has a suite of packages to give you the support you need to build your business.

As someone that’s new to being self employed, Crunch made the whole set up process easy. From my initial call to understand the process, the check ins to see how I was doing to actually going ahead. Once I was set up the support team were amazing at answering the millions of questions I had and they’re always at the end of the phone or email if I need them. I even had a full 45 minute call to walk through the full system which was amazing.

I really appreciated the way the Crunch staff member adjusted to my knowledge and confidence level - which was relatively low. She helped me work out what I needed to do and was incredibly helpful and patient as I went through my interminable snagging list. This has been my experience with Crunch staff in general - but when tasks build up, it's easy to put off direct contact - when, in fact, this makes all the difference.
