See what our customers say

We spoke to lots of firms, looking for someone who understood small business and would take the time to get to know us. Julian solidified our choice; he’s a good listener, he didn’t talk over me, and offered valuable information. I always get a friendly response from the support team straight away and get extra info that I actually need.

KarenKaren Van HuffelDirector, Think Resourcing

Beany means I don’t have to deal with the headache of bookkeeping and accounting. I can go in at any time and see how we’re doing, whereas typical accountants wouldn’t interact with you until year-end. Everything is straightforward and uncomplicated. With Beany, you describe what you need and you can get it.

Peter WachtellPeter WachtellGroup Healthcare

When I started InfluenceWorks, I felt confident within my industry knowledge, but super under confident around the financial side of things. My Beany accountant went above and beyond, giving me step by step instructions on everything I needed to set up and even giving me super helpful tips about things outside of the financial realm.

Charlotte CainesCharlotte CainesCreative Director, InfluenceWorks

Getting set up on Beany was simple and painless, they even took care of the switch for us. Our accountant Jenny never hesitates to get involved or come up with solutions or advice for new or different scenarios that seem to regularly pop up. Unlike experiences with larger firms, we’ve always felt we get value for money; Beany isn’t low touch, low cost.

Lachie CampbellLachie CampbellDirector, Latitude Commodities

Accounting is like a chore to me. Using Beany means I’m still in control, but when I have a question it gets answered straight away. It’s all so seamless. Even though Beany is all online, I have a connection with my accountant, Rebecca. She makes me feel like family. Beany is easy, hassle-free, and always a step ahead.
