Accounting is full of technical terminology that sounds very similar but has fundamentally different applications. Those outside the profession may sometimes wonder what it all means. So, it’s time to do some jargon-busting!

Fantastic support from Alicia from start to finish. This was a big thing for us changing the accounts system and it's been a breeze from the project planning, implementation and through to training and support. Really impressed with Xero as a whole and really impressed with Shorts and Alicia. Matthew WheatcroftPurpose Media (UK) Ltd

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.

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 BuckleyClovertec

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.
