    I've been using Intel accountants since the beginning of my business and can't recommend them highly enough. I would be absolutely lost without them and trust them entirely.

  • Chris Hill
    I found dealing with Intel Accountants so easy. Their process is easy to follow. Best of all, I didn't need the likes of Xero (which I thought I needed). Taking the worry free accounting package was the one of the best things I did. If you are in the ICT industry - you need this. Cheers.

Not hard at all.

Once you agree for us to act as your accountants, we’ll get you to sign a Letter of Engagement which sets out our terms and conditions. Then we’ll contact your existing accountant and organise the smooth transfer of any information.

You won’t need to contact them at all if you don’t want to. We can take care of the lot.
