Dan Cole - Partner

“Lightyear has been able to reduce bookkeeping time by between 40-50% purely because of data entry.

There is no manual entry now, which has allowed my bookkeeper to get the accounts up to virtually a live situation each month, where previously we would have been 3-4 months in arrears. It is huge for us!!!"
