Founder, Project5
"Project5 is the 5th business I’ve started, so I knew the importance of getting a partner to help me on the trials, tribulations, odd rules and hence frustrations of the various accountancy aspects of a start-up. Now in our scale-up stage, I’ll be sticking with Rise Accounting as they've simply delivered on what I needed."
