Beany are the perfect fit for us as we grow, not only because of their expertise, but mainly because of how available and supportive they are.

Beany ticks all of those boxes.

When I started InfluenceWorks, I felt confident within my industry knowledge, but super under confident around the financial side of things. My Beany accountant went above and beyond, giving me step by step instructions on everything I needed to set up and even giving me super helpful tips about things outside of the financial realm.
