How can we help you?

We're just a phone call away

"Right from the get-go (and to this day) Mike and Bare Bones had the ideal balance of expertise and personal touch that we were looking for. We’ve found time & time again that Mike is always approachable and provides excellent advice when we need it. What I particularly like about the service from Bare Bones is the speed of communication. We could never use the excuse 'just waiting on the accountant.

For an essential part of the business that has the potential to be stressful, Mike removes that stress completely and leaves us with more time to focus on the business. We feel that our accounts are in a safe pair of hands and couldn’t recommend Bare Bones enough."
