More than £3.6k raised for SV2

31/10/2018

 
Picture

Yesterday we were proud to be able to hand our Charity of the Year SV2, a cheque for £3,691 thanks to the huge effort from the team of staff who completed the renowned Three Peaks Challenge back in August.

Rumour has it that some of the team underwent more training than others in the lead-up to the event but all who entered, made it through the gruelling 23 mile long, 3,064 meter ascent, whilst travelling a total of 462 miles between venues!

Ashgates are extremely proud of the members of staff who took time out of their personal lives to contribute such a huge effort to assist our Charity of the SV2 and also to all of those family members, clients and contacts who have ever so kindly donated towards the cause.

It is not too late to donate to our Charity of the Year SV2 - those wishing to contribute to such a great cause can do so by visiting - https://svtwo.charitycheckout.co.uk/pf/Ashgates-Three-Peaks-Challenge

Xero GOLD Partners

19/10/2018

 
We are delighted to announce that we have now made it to Xero Gold Partner level!

We are thoroughly enjoying our journey with Xero so far, the benefits of using the solution with clients have been there for all to see. We have a large number of clients that have joined our journey and they are constantly telling us about the huge difference Xero is making to not only their bookkeeping but their business as a whole.

With continual development, Xero is evolving and improving all the time and we are excited to see further developments in the future.

Partner, Ian Johnson had this to say on the news “Ashgates are delighted to be awarded the Xero Gold Partner status. Since we began our cloud accounting journey back in 2014, we have invested time and resources into internal training so that many of our staff are Xero certified, so they are in a perfect position to be able to offer proactive bookkeeping assistance and advice when required.

Over the past 12-18 months we have really been driving forward (with the support of the great team at Xero) and the number of clients we have migrated to cloud accounting has steadily grown in that time. We really see achieving Gold Partner status as an important milestone for us.

Xero has revolutionised the way we interact with our clients and we have found having access to up-to-date financial information for our clients allows us to communicate more efficiently with them and provide proactive accountancy, taxation and business advice. With Making Tax Digital for VAT on the horizon, it is an exciting time to be involved with cloud accounting and as a firm, we are delighted to be on that journey with Xero”
