Hello, pleased to meet you!
As small business owners, we’ve been where you are.
Back in the early 2010s, we were drowning in spreadsheets and clunky accounting software. Every week, we’d lose entire days to bookkeeping, reconciling payments, chasing invoices and pulling together reports. Time that should’ve been spent with clients, growing our business or simply switching off for the evening. Sound familiar?
Here’s what changed everything…
In 2012, we saw Xero in action, and everything fell into place. It wasn’t just accounting software. It was freedom.
Imagine. Bank feeds that reconciled themselves. Invoices that sent automatic reminders. Real-time dashboards showing exactly where the business stood. What a dream come true!
We switched immediately and within weeks, we could do in a couple of hours what once took a whole day to sort. Suddenly, we had time to breathe again..
Our clients have noticed the difference, too. They were facing the same struggles, talented business owners held back by time-consuming accounting.
So, we started helping them move to Xero, showing them exactly what had worked for us. Since then, we’ve guided hundreds of UK businesses through their Xero journey. From sole traders in Sheffield to growing companies in Glasgow, and creative agencies to construction firms.
Every business is different, but the transformation is always the same: less time on accounts, more time for growth.
This is why we do it…
We’re not just another accounting firm that happens to use Xero. We’re 100% Xero-focused. It’s all we do. And we do it brilliantly.
As Xero Gold Partners with specialist certifications in payroll, migration, tax and cash flow, we know every feature, every shortcut and every trick that will save you time. More importantly, we know which bits matter for your business and which you can safely ignore.
But our credentials only tell half our story. How we work with you is what really sets us apart.
We don’t just dump Xero on your desk and disappear. We set it up for your business. We train you on exactly what you need to know. And we stay close for those quick questions that always pop up.
The result? You become confident and independent with your accounts.
No more Sunday evenings lost to bookkeeping.
No more panic at year-end.
Just clean, accurate numbers and the freedom to focus on what you do best.
Because that’s our mission: making Xero simple, so your business can shine.
Hi, I’m Scott.
I’m Progression Accountancy’s director and in-house Xero expert, and I’ve been helping businesses master Xero for over a decade.
As a fully qualified chartered accountant (with certifications from the ACCA and AAT), I understand Xero from an accountant’s perspective.
But what makes me a bit different is that I’ve been using Xero since 2010, back when it was still relatively new to the UK market. So, I’ve been part of the entire journey, watching it evolve from promising startup software into the powerful platform it is today.
Being one of Xero’s earliest UK adopters means I’ve seen every update, every new feature and every improvement firsthand.
Whenever Xero releases new training or certification, I’m usually one of the first to complete it. I hold every Xero certification available, Gold Partner status, plus specialist badges in payroll, migration, tax, cash flow and more. It’s not just about collecting certificates though; it’s about staying current so I can offer the best possible guidance to my clients.
Over the years, I’ve worked with more than 500 companies across every industry you can imagine. From small family businesses and sole traders to larger corporates with complex requirements, I’ve tailored Xero to match how each business operates. No two companies are the same, so no two Xero implementations should be identical either. What I love most about my work is building genuine relationships with clients.
I’m not interested in quick fixes or generic solutions. Instead, I take time to understand your business, your challenges and your goals. Then, we work together to create a Xero setup that makes your life easier, not more complicated. My approach is hands-on and practical. We’ll use your real data, tackle your actual business problems and by the time we’re finished, you’ll be confident running Xero independently.
But I’m always here when questions arise, because that’s what good support looks like. Whether you’re switching from another system, struggling with your current setup or starting fresh, I’ll make sure Xero works brilliantly for your business.
