“ACTIVE WORKPAPERS MAKES TRACKING THE PROGRESS OF A JOB EASY, WITH CUSTOMISABLE STATUSES TO FIT OUR INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE NEEDS.”

Kate Edginton, Director, Hazlewoods

“Since starting to use Active Workpapers we have streamlined our accounting working papers process and have started rolling out for VAT and management accounts. Our working papers now follow a systemised and structured process compared to the haphazard spreadsheet approach we used to use.”

Mark Stewart, Partner, Stewart Accounting Services
