I was recommended the team at Silicon Bullet after reaching out to my network on Facebook. They responded within the hour and was able to see me on the same morning! Paul checked my laptop over and diagnosed the issue, even providing me with the right equipment to try out straight away. Very impressed with the service and will definitely recommend for your ICT needs!

I can't recommend Alison at Silicon Bullet highly enough! She has great knowledge and expertise in all things related to 'Xero'. She is always able to sort out any problems or errors related to my book keeping and using Xero software. She very quickly finds simple solutions and has provided invaluable training on many occasions.

Paul fixed my laptop yesterday after i completly deleted the operating system . I couldnt remeber any of my passwords to my email or apple id which he very patiently sorted out for me. Im student with the open university so he had it all fixed and returned in a matter of hours to me . He let me split tje payment into 2 which was incredibly helpful to me . If you are looking for your computer to be fixed look no further and contact paul you wont be dissapointed in the service you recieve from him.

Alison provided the perfect level of support for our charity to make the move from excel to Xero. She provided valuable assistance in deciding what software to use, then helped us with training and set-up. Thank you Alison, it was exactly what we needed and very much appreciated.
Response from the owner:You are very welcome x

I was a complete beginner with Xero, and Alison at Silicon Bullet Ltd made the learning process so much easier. She was incredibly patient, explaining everything clearly and at a pace that suited me. What really stood out was her availability—she always gets back to you quickly and genuinely tries to help with any questions. Alison is approachable, knowledgeable, and a fantastic trainer. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking to learn Xero!

Alison of Silicon Bullet is an amazing book keeping buddy. I wanted to understand my accounting system better, take ownership of my accounts and process transactions with speed, I can't tell you how much time Alison has saved me, our time together has been invaluable; working with Alison has meant that I can ask processing and record keeping questions that are related directly to my own business operations and style of working, and her responses were clear and easy to follow. I would definately recommend Alison as your book keeping buddy.

As the owner of Beeson Solutions Limited, a business providing accountancy and bookkeeping services, I cannot recommend Silicon Bullet enough.
Their Bookkeeping Buddies service has been incredibly beneficial for my business. The online meetings are not only convenient but also packed with valuable insights that help me stay on top of my bookkeeping needs.
Whenever I have a question or need advice, I know exactly where to turn. The support and expertise provided by Bookkeeping Buddies and the members of the group have truly become an indispensable resource for my practice.
Joining Bookkeeping Buddies has allowed me to connect with a community of like-minded professionals who are always willing to share their knowledge and experiences. This sense of community and collaboration is something I deeply value. Alison and the team have created an environment where everyone feels supported and encouraged.
I wholeheartedly encourage anyone in the bookkeeping (and accountancy) field to join Bookkeeping Buddies. The benefits and support is great. If you're looking for a reliable resource for bookkeeping advice and a community that genuinely cares about your success, look no further than Bookkeeping Buddies. Carl - Beeson Solutions Limited

As a new business owner, I had no idea where to start with my accounts. Alison has been so helpful and answered all my questions to do with Xero and has helped me kickstart my business finances and understand how to invoice, track expenses, pay myself and so much more! Would highly recommend - thank you Alison!
Response from the owner:You were a pleasure to work with Rebecca x

If you’re a recently qualified bookkeeper, and / or working on your own, you need Alison Mead from Bookkeeping Buddy.
When you’re completely overwhelmed, Alison is the calm voice helping you make sense of the chaos. It’s so good to know you’re not alone.

Exceptional service. My laptop blew up at the weekend and I needed urgent help. Paul responded immediately - no fuss, no drama - and was immediately on the case. I contacted him because I'd had superb reviews from other people locally. Can't recommend highly enough.

Alison was a pleasure to work with! As a lowly small business owner with little time, she was an invaluable asset! She was thorough in her explanations and she is an expert in her field. I walked away with an abundance of knowledge I did not expect, and am a better business owner for it! Thank you!

Alison is knowledgeable Bookkeeper and accounts software trainer, nothing is too much trouble for her.
Her communication is easy, simple, straight forward and super easy to understand! I have sought advice on different bookkeeping topics with her and It is really always insightful and I'm glad I have been able to utilize her skills in my journey as a seasoned bookkeeper!
I would highly recommend Alison to any Bookkeeper who needs clarity or a second opinion with respect to their bookkeeping work/account software.

Alison is an extremely knowledgeable book keeper and accounts software trainer and it is a pleasure to work with her. We have been working together for a year now, which initially involved a migration from Sage to Xero and software training, moving onto monthly management accounts support, all aspects of book keeping, VAT returns and finalising our year end accounts.
Our monthly meetings come around far too quickly (!) but I cannot believe how simple the process is now. As someone who was petrified of managing the accounts aspect of our business, following a Co Director's retirement (who was a qualified accountant), I cannot believe how comfortable I am with the financials!
I cannot thank Alison enough for her patience and support. I have every confidence in the figures that are produced, with a clear understanding of the detail, and I consider this to be a huge accomplishment!

Like many coaches and consultants I rely on the internet to work with my clients. So when my computer wouldn't recognise any microphone it was something that had to be fixed quickly. My usual source of help admitted to being out of her depth and put me in touch with Paul at Silicon Bullet. I was impressed with his speed of response and the fact that he had researched the issue before contacting me. In no time flat he had fixed the issue and I was up and running again with minor inconvenience to me I will certainly use him again and recommend his services to you.

As a micro business any sort of laptop malfunction is a disaster - if my laptop isn't working I can't earn money! When my battery completely failed I reached out to social media in a total panic for a local tech super hero and was flooded with recommendations for Paul. I contacted him immediately and he had me sorted and back up and running the same day. A really lovely man who clearly knows his stuff and is an expert in all things technology. Couldn't recommend him more highly for any of your IT needs. Thank you Paul for saving the day!
