Testimonial
“Listerdale Estates is a small family run private housing renting company in South Yorkshire.
We spent over 6 months looking for the right ‘rent’ system software to suit our company, and we haven’t looked back since we chose Focus rent software.
We have been using Focus ‘Rent’ software since October 2012. Listerdale Estates is a quite unusual company in that it has 26 individual sole trader accounts. Up until 2012, the company’s accounts were conducted using a manual double entry ledger book system which was– very time consuming and required very skilled and specialised staff.
The Focus team grasped the workings of the company and the requirements of our accountants and setup the system to mimic the manual accounting one. The transition from manual to computerisation was smooth. We ran the manual and Focus system side by side for 6 months and proved the accounting integrity on 3 sole trader accounts which were audited and passed by the accountants.
Focus Rent system has enabled us to:
• Complete monthly rental income transactions in a more timely manner
• Monitor the rental arrears more closely and maintain them at a more acceptable level.
• Decrease staff numbers in maintaining the rental accounts
• Provide the accountants with clearer, more accurate accounts within a shorter time frame.
• File our company accounts sooner.
• Decrease our accountancy costs
• Streamline the office systems
Focus Rent software is very easy to use and has many powerful accountancy and reporting features. It has definitely moved our company into 21st century. The support given by a very friendly team is also excellent.”
