We took Sophie on at the start of our new business Lost In Rio Restaurant and Cocktail Bar. She came highly recommended to us through a mutual business contact and at no point have we regretted our decision to give Sophie all of our bookkeeping and business administration duties.

Since the first introduction we have found Sophie reliable, punctual, superb at her work and totally professional in all she has done for us. I would recommend Sophie to anyone in need of a bookkeeper.

Sophie has been handling our bookkeeping and accounts at Gasjack Group for the past two years, and we couldn't be more grateful for her dedication and professionalism.

She is incredibly reliable, consistently accurate, and brings a level of precision and organisation that has been invaluable to our financial operations.

Sophie's attention to detail and her proactive approach have made a real difference to us, she ensures that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
