The business quickly became 'Safe Hands Bookkeeping'. In this interview, we ask Jason about his feelings when he started out, growing his business from his bedroom to how it looks today with 10 staff members and huge plans to grow this year.
We explore Jason's passion for meeting people, giving help and support to small businesses to help them achieve their goals and how using software allows his business to expand and offer new services.
