Yuji was a game changer in my business, he has extensive knowledge of xero and QBO. Before his services my books were all over the place, he quickly trained me to properly use the softwares. My BAS are always on time now so it gives me peace of time to run my businesses.

Yuji setup our QBO and trained us to be able to enter our restaurant expenses and process weekly payrolls. He is very knowledgeable not only about the software, but also about ATO/Fairwork compliace. His customer service was fantastic. Even though we are a very small client of his, he always reminds me to meet BAS/Superannuation deadlines. With him, I never have to worry about the bookkeeping side of our business. He is a great guy too and very friendly, but most of all, he just makes my life much easier. We would recommend Yuji to any other businesses who require his services.

Our business is a pet tablets wholesaler based in Japan, because of our business owner's preference, we use Xero to manage our accounts. We do our own bookkeeping, However We use Yuji's Xero bookkeeping technical support services to ask bookkeeping/Xero questions. He also identifies errors, fixes problems and diligently makes sure Xero is setup correctly aligned with Japan's consumption tax system. He is quick to respond, provide easy to understand information. He is crucial to our accounts team.
