Stockton accountant gains gold partner status

June 28th 2020

AbacusBean Chartered Accountants, based at Level Q Stockton on Tees, are proud to announce they’ve gained Gold Partner Status from web-based accountancy software house Xero.

The firm has worked incredibly hard to climb up the Xero partnership ladder in its short time of trade. Less than 2 years into its business journey, AbacusBean has reached one of the top accolades Xero can give.

Being a Gold Partner gives them increased exposure in the Xero directory, allowing them to get in front of clients across the UK, and beyond, and offer larger discounts to pass onto their clients.

Beverley Goodall, managing director said: “We have only been trading for 20 months but in that time we have grown rapidly and engaged well over 260 clients. We recommend people use a cloud-based accountancy solution and Xero is one of the software houses we work alongside to help our clients keep their records as accurately and as easily as possible.”

“We offer Xero training to clients in how to use the software as effectively as possible to save busy business owners and accounts staff time. We have an in-house team to provide the training, alongside the usual help to support clients with ongoing queries and business challenges.”

Recently AbacusBean helped Middlesbrough-based Coffee Shop, Bentley’s, with some Xero training.

Emily Bentley Bentley’s Coffee Shop co-owner said “Having used other accounting packages in the past, including cloud-solutions, I was interested in how Xero compared. Although it’s a really easy package to get on with, some things I needed help with. AbacusBean were only too happy to help train and guide me in best practice and how to’s.

"Steve was very patient with me and explained things in a jargon-free way. I was so pleased to learn of their new Gold status, it is very well deserved.”

AbacusBean was set up in 2018 by Beverley Metcalfe to enable her to follow her dreams of running her own practice. Having both small and large accountancy firm practice, Bev has created AbacusBean to match her customer focused approach. Running her own practice allows a more autonomous approach with clients meaning she can put their needs unquestionably first.
