So disappointed. Crunch was good when I started with them about 18 months ago, but recent experiences have been very much lacking. I have two companies registered with them for accounts and pay roll etc, yet the service I receive is minimal. I will be moving accountants in the next week - here are a few reasons why:
1/ There no longer seems to be an account manager, but instead a "services team" - speak to a different person each time, and I have received some quite conflicting advice.
2/ I needed to register for VAT, which I brought up several times on the phone, this wasn't done and after me chasing them I am now in a horrible process where I've had to retroactively register and will have to re-issue 4 months worth of invoices to my clients (possibly more). It was their job as my accountant to have monitored this - they should have been telling me to register for VAT rather than the other way round! Re-issuing invoices looks unprofessional, is a massive waste of time, and was very avoidable.
3/ I have one day to do my invoicing this month (today), between very hectic business and schedule travels. It seems today the software isn't working and is not allowing me to create invoices, for some unknown reason. I have called multiple times and there is nobody that can help and no explanation for why it isn't working. Not being able to create invoices when I need to is a pretty fundamental flaw!
4/ I recently got a mortgage, and getting accurate company information to send to my broker was very difficult. The reports downloaded from the software were incorrect (showing incorrect dates etc.) and the team at Crunch didn't know how to correct this. It made the whole process really far more stressful than it needed to be.
