“Switched from Sage to Xero and got my weekends back.”
Twelve years serving the trades and construction firms of Handsworth taught David one thing, his clients don't want a lecture on double entry, they want to know if they can take the weekend off. He built the firm around that question.
Last year he moved 140 clients off Sage in a single quarter and wrote the migration playbook he wishes someone had handed him; it's now the most-shared Practitioner Voice piece on the platform.
“My clients don't want a lecture, they want their weekends back.”
