An excellent online tool for managing a small business, with much of its functions being automated and performing efficiently. However, it seems to have shifted from providing valuable consulting and accounting advice to merely offering a software service. I don't receive the in-depth tax advice needed for maximizing business efficiency. Interactions with accountants often feel like checklist exercises rather than insightful discussions. Given the cost, this aspect falls somewhat short of expectations.

Good platform - lack of tax 'consultancy'

Great digital platform to run a small business from. Most of it is automated and works really well.
But what used to be an accountancy with good consulting advise has turned into a company offering a software platform. I do not feel that I get any serious tax advise that makes me optimise my business. Most of the interaction with accountants feels like speaking to juniors who run through a check list.
For the price they ask for this is a bit disappointing

Hi Marcel,

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the software's features, but I’m sorry that your recent Tax Optimisation call felt a bit scripted or like a checklist exercise. That certainly wasn't the intention.

Behind the scenes, we actually review every account for potential savings before these calls to ensure we have concrete value to discuss. In your case, I was very pleased to see that our advice identified significant potential savings for your business.

I’ve shared your comments with the team to ensure our future check-ins feel more like a natural conversation and less like a formal review. In the meantime, I’ve asked your accountant to reach out directly for a more tailored, in-depth discussion about your business goals.

We’ll be in touch shortly.

All the best,
Luke - Client Experience Specialist

Cannot be trusted with your data

Honestly, cannot believe what a shambles.

I had a free trial for a month - where I was unable to login to my account. Someone from their support team sent me a link to add a password, I logged in and it was someone else's business information in there. Absolutely crazy breach of data. I will be asking them to delete my data immediately.

This was after being harassed by them by phone and having to tell them to stop throughout my trial period.

Also they sent me a survey monkey to fill in another area of data - so behind the scenes I imagine it's a manual mess.

Update: 06/01/2026

Hi Anna,

Our team has attempted to reach out via email, but as we haven’t heard back yet, I wanted to provide an update here regarding your concerns.

Data Protection and Security

We have concluded a full internal investigation. We can confirm that no data breach occurred, and neither your personal information nor any other client’s private account security was compromised.

To streamline setups, our system pulls public records (company numbers and filing dates) from Companies House based on the business name entered. In this instance, an administrative error led to the wrong public record being linked to your trial profile. While this information is already in the public domain, we sincerely apologise for the confusion and concern this caused when you logged in.


Communication & Onboarding

We offer an onboarding form as a convenient way for our clients to provide the essential information required before we can grant access to a Crunch account or act as their accountant.

We currently provide a 14 day free trial with all our subscriptions, which begins as soon as you sign up. As a result, our team reached out to ensure we could gather these details quickly.

Our goal was to ensure you could access our service and fully utilise the trial period, rather than it expiring while the account was pending. We apologise if these follow-ups felt intrusive; they were intended to ensure you got the most out of your time with us.

We will honour your request, and your data will be deleted. If you would like to discuss this further, please do reach out to us via our latest email.

All the best,

Katie - Client Experience Specialist

Hi Anna,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Data protection is of the utmost importance to us, and we pride ourselves on account security.

Our team has already begun investigating, but we'd like to speak with you as a matter of urgency to fully understand what steps you followed.

I see you've been in touch with us directly by email, so we'll respond to this.

All the best,

ok but would not recommend

Been with CRUNCH for almost 2 years now.

Clumsy software - seems easy, but you sill need to file a lot by yourself

The accountants work for them and not really for you.

I am planning to change tax accountant - hence my 2 stars review

Have used Crunch while self employed and always found them helpful and efficient. No longer using them as no longer self employed but received a proactive call from a chap called Rob today checking whether I needed their help and he put my mind at rest re whether or not I need to fill in a self assessment this year.

7 days, 5 emails asking for clarification on a mistaken advice i believe support gave, no answer over email.

really gone downhill on the support.

update.
I've changed this from 2 to 4, as they said person assigned to the issue was losing the conversation thread as I was replying to support email address and every time I did it was being assigned to back of the queue..... It shouldn't take me complaining on trust pilot to get support but when I did the response where fast and accounts now filed all questions resolved.

Terrible Experience

Unfortunately, I've had the worst experience with Crunch — poor advice and terrible customer service has meant the company will miss submission deadlines. If your needs are beyond basic accountancy, you'd be better off finding another accountant as Crunch don't appear to be equipped to deal with more complex matters at all. I've been going back and forth for *months* to try and resolve outstanding issues, but I've just been passed from person to person without anything actually being actioned. I have complained now, several times, but the matter still remains unresolved. I'm beyond frustrated, and incredibly disappointed at the level of service from this (supposedly) professional organisation.
