See what our clients say about us
I couldn't be more enthusiastic about Peopleshare. I hired Peopleshare to take our financial management from being a weakness to a business strength. And they've certainly given us that. After struggling to get the monthly management and reporting we needed from traditional accountancies, Peopleshare gave us a process and helped us organise how we keep a handle on the finances internally.
Serena tops this off with her incisive brand of consultancy. She probes to the heart of the matter, exposing risks and opportunities to help us grow the business. She does a superb job of steering our financial strategy, growth planning, recruitment and more. If we have a tricky issue to solve I give Serena a call

As a result financially we enjoy a lower relative cost base and operationally Peopleshare's involvement immediately improved cash flow management by the more experienced and efficient control of debtors and creditors. We receive accurate and timely information, both formally on a monthly basis and informally almost daily as we require.
The experience and attitude of the whole team at Peopleshare is fantastic and their support declares an understanding of the wider imperatives of the business world. In a challenging economic climate and in a high growth arena, such services are always going to be vital, these services are delivered by Peopleshare.
I would recommend that any forward thinking organisation seeking to manage costs, manage information and retain flexibility should look no further than peopleshare for the best in financial management services.

The service we get from Peopleshare is first class; the response time to any queries or issues is fantastic. Our account manager understands the business as if she was a full time employee, she is knowledgeable enough to be able to challenge us on business issues.
We like the comfort we get from having Rachel in the business, if she has even half a percent of doubt she questions, this gives us confidence.
Having the correct up to date key financial information is vital to any business, Peopleshare certainly do this and go one step further by working with this information and ourselves to provide strategic management accounts which are so vital to our short, mid and long term strategy.

A quick email to thank you for the training you have provided David and I over the last two weeks. I am pleased to say I have much a better understanding of the ‘dark arts' of financial accounts after the training and a lot of the gaps are now filled in. Not only was the training extremely useful, you made it interesting and enjoyable as well.
We are now in a much better position to use the financial information for the benefit of the company and our future planning and I look forward to your continued involvement on an ongoing basis.
I am sure there are many companies and individuals that could benefit hugely from your knowledge and input and from the quality of the financial information you provide.
Matt BrownSales and Technical DirectorBampton Packaging LtdHaving the management accounts report from Peopleshare has enabled us to grow, it makes us aware of changes in our business as soon as they happen, we can take immediate action and make decisions knowing our monthly accounts are completely accurate.
The report is my bible- I use it as a constant reference point during the month – it is what I use when dealing with any business issue as I know the report covers every aspect of my business and it tells me what I need to know.
Lisa is extremely thorough – she picks up on the smallest thing, this gives me a lot of comfort that everything is correct and if I got a Revenue inspection I know I would be ok.
We would not be where we are now if we had not had this service throughout the years – our turnover has increased by over 200% in the 11 years we have been using Peopleshare.
Another main benefit has been we have the ability to control our margins – without doubt we would not have made as much money.
Having accurate quality information has opened doors for us with banks and other lenders – we have never had any finance refused, whilst we have been growing we have been able to provide lenders with the latest information immediately – we know it has given our funders a lot of confidence in our business and our control over it. They always believe our numbers.
The management report I get from Peopleshare is straightforward, easy to read and follow, the issues are put very clearly. It simplifies the financial management of our business.
As a result I know exactly where to look for issues, and importantly where not to look. The finance report pinpoints exactly where the issues are. It saves a lot of time not having to wade through Sage trying to make sense of the business. It tells me everything I need to know about my company, it gives me a greater insight to what is going on and visibility of things I did not know.
All of the team at Peopleshare are very friendly and helpful. I see Peopleshare as very different to my tax accountant – they are friendly, and bring my accounts to life, making everything so easy to understand.
Peopleshare are approachable, professional and extremely helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any business.
Rachel has provided excellent cover over the last 6 months whilst we were recruiting for a management accountant. Now we have been successful in appointing someone, I will be sad to see Rachel go. She has been totally professional and a pleasure to work with. Because of her extensive expertise in management accounts processes for similar sized companies, she quickly overhauled our month end routines and set up new efficient processes and models which now take a fraction of the time to produce our monthly accounts. I now have a slick excel models which form a solid basis to allow my new management accountant to continue to develop our management reporting, forecasts and budgets and to meet the changing requirements of our business in the future. I would have no hesitation in recommending Peopleshare and will certainly use them again.
Since Peopleshare have been involved in our business we have been much better organised, and the service has been far better than anticipated. We are much better informed about our business and more in control as we are now looking ahead to our projected year end results, – this means we can plan what we want our year end to say, how much profit we want to make, and make sure our tax planning is done in plenty of time.
We have a very good relationship with Rachel, she is very efficient, and has demonstrated her knowledge and understanding of our business over the months. We get information from Peopleshare about our business that our accountant has never mentioned to us.
We have worked with Serena Humphrey and Peopleshare since 2000. When they started working with us our accounting systems were in a basic format. They analysed them and very quickly setup all accounting, control and reporting systems to meet our needs. As a result accurate management information is always available to support decision making and strategy setting.
The department managers are taken through the accounts each month so that they are engaged in their own numbers, encouraging them to take ownership of their financial performance.
I have known Serena in a professional capacity for 11 years and she has an excellent understanding of the business, because of this and the skills she possesses she inputs greatly into the strategic planning and has a key role in business development.
Peopleshare attend all of our bank and board meetings and I am pleased to say that as a result relationships are excellent.
The Peopleshare team have a culture of friendliness and customer focus. They have carefully handled members of staff who are not financially literate and setup supporting structures to help us achieve success.
Tim Desmond
Chief ExecutiveEgalitarian Trust LtdMy accounts were a shambles before I called Peopleshare in and I only had a vague idea how my company was progressing from month to month.
5 years on, Gary comes in once a month to keep everything in order and to gather information to prepare our monthly management accounts. I am now always completely up to date with accurate management information which helps me plan for year end tax liability, quarterly VAT bills, forecast sales targets and stock levels. We now also use Peopleshare to chase our aged debtors and we can always tell when Jenny has been on the phone chasing because there is a pile of cheques on our doormat the next morning, yet another fantastic service from Peopleshare.
Serena’s advice has been invaluable and her positive attitude is a breath of fresh air, after every meeting with her I always leave feeling incredibly positive and raring to go. I always recommend Peopleshare to business colleagues and will continue to do so.
Peopleshare, what can I say that is not a cliche? Professional, efficient, informative, accurate and importantly for us friendly!
Having commenced using their accounting services mid 2002 we quickly benefited from their organised approach to management accounts. Monthly reporting provides an extremely accurate picture of the financial state of our company, culminating in year end figures comparable to our audited accounts
Lisa is very good, she understands our business really well, always asks questions, she has empathy with us and we see her as part of our company. The relationship with Peopleshare is a very important part of our business. If you want to know more give me a call.
We have been working with People Share for a couple of years now and cannot believe how much easier and worry free managing our business is! Serena, Sandy and the team are reliable, thorough and deliver on promises. If you have frustrations with your bookkeeper, I recommend speaking to them.

Peopleshare, from my experience, excel in all of these areas. That`s why I, as Chairman of Trent Decorators Ltd, am happy to promote and extol this company.
John JenningsChairmanTrent Decorators LtdWe would both like to say a huge thank you for the visit last night and for enlightening us to the management accounts and your suggestions of the way we can move forward.
We both commented after you left that we both feel really “energised” and full of enthusiasm after your visits. Thank you again for your time.
Chris LillymanDirectorConsumable Cafe LtdOur accountants recommended Peopleshare to us so that we could start to get some monthly procedures put into place. Rachel came on board and we have never looked back. Rachel is efficient and extremely knowledgeable as well as being easy to work with and down to earth. She makes the most complex of matters easy to understand and is always at hand to help should we need a bit of hand holding.
We would certainly recommend Peopleshare to anyone who wants friendly yet expert advice and assistance with their accounts.
