what our clients say

We started our accounting firm up in 2017 and we knew we would need experts when we set up our practice on Xero.

So we engaged Donnie from Entry Counts to help us with our Xero financial statements.

Donnie came in and redesigned the Xero reports from the ground up, provided the chart of accounts to match the reports and trained our team. Now our system is automated, efficient and designed for scale, so we can just get on with our jobs knowing that we have the best in class Xero report templates.

Nine Advisory

I have known Donnie for a couple of years now, and he is an absolute genius.

He's able to work through Xero reporting with me and is also about to put my ideas into action reporting from Xero.

I have some hundreds of man hours already.

Now I provide my clients the perfect reporting packages every month, all automated and compliant.

I can't recommend him more. Absolute legend.

Martin Moate

Empire Advisors

We are a small tax compliance practice with 10 years of experience.

In 2022 we engaged Donnie and his team to help us move from Reckon Elite to Xero for financial statements.

His guidance and experience was invaluable in what can only be described as a stressful and confusing time. His ability to make the most difficult appear easy allayed our concerns and certainly mitigated several potential pitfalls and financial losses that may have occurred.

I would highly recommend him to any practice undertaking a software migration to Xero.
