Jayne I want to say thank you for the consulting day you gave us recently on S50 Accounts.
I appreciate we rather bombarded you with questions and I thank you for your patience. We all learned a tremendous amount and I look forward to booking you in for another day soon.
Emma Couzens. Director, Brandon Thatchers Ltd. Rugby.
I thought I would share with you the impact that the Sage 50 Payroll training has had. We have made huge strides forward since we first spoke and had the training with Jayne. Shortly after the training our Payroll Manager resigned, but with the skill in the wider team we got 99.5% accuracy on our first payroll run and have improved each month since. Due to this we have chosen not to recruit another Payroll Manager and instead invest in our existing team. Our latest payroll accuracy was 99.9975% (2 errors!!).
Recently I have recommended you to some external peers who were looking for help with Sage 50 Payroll.
Many thanks Jayne, it’s made a huge difference to our team and more importantly, our colleagues.
Tim Coid. Penny Petroleum
Thank you for the training for the last couple of days we thoroughly enjoyed it and have definitely benefitted from it.
Nicki Dunt. Hadron Engineering Limited
Just wanted to give quick feedback on the training: Jayne was brilliant.
The content was well organised and focused on practical situations. It was a pleasure to work with you. I must admit, being a person with more than 20 years’ experience in Customer Services, I am not easily impressed. Your perseverance, professionalism and knowledge is impressive; a combination not often found in this industry. Hopefully, our collaboration will not end here.

Jayne was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with SAGE50 Accounts Professional and was able to break things down into simple explanations for myself and colleagues. We now feel a lot more confident using the software.

Hi Jayne, I caught up with Joan earlier and she was delighted with the Sage 50 Payroll bespoke session. She feels much more confident starting her new role now and said you were great at explaining things. Thanks you again as always Jayne for providing a top service to one of our customers.
Rob Hupston. Softext Limited.
Jayne carried out two half day training sessions on Sage 50 Accounts Professional. She was very knowledgeable, professional, timely and adaptable to the company knowledge and circumstances; as well as the IT systems that had to be used due to security concerns. I have no problem in recommending her, as well as returning to her for any additional support if required in the future.
James Whitehouse. Consultant to Flettner Ventilation Limited.
Jayne was so helpful for my recent online day training for Sage One.
Even though it was not in person and done virtually due to the current pandemic, I got a lot out of the training.
Jayne was great at talking me through everything I needed to know, very patient and personable. A very friendly voice who made me feel much for confident in using the system for our business needs.
Chelsea Levers. Bespoke Projects Ltd. Farnborough.
I was tasked with setting up Sage 50 Accounts Professional as a new accounting system.
I had never used Sage before. We had a lot of information to be transferred.
Jayne assisted me over a full day and two half days online. She gave me the instructions of what to prepare beforehand and helped with imports and setting up. We were able to start using Sage at the beginning of the financial year with no issues.
The first month end was successful with guidance from Jayne on reports and journals.
Sue Brooks. Telemar Limited. Dorking.
We had a one day bespoke training session with Jayne, carried out using online remote access which was easy to set up.
Jayne has great knowledge of the Sage software and we picked up some good pointers and have been able to identify where we can make improvements in our use of Sage 50 Accounts Professional and systems.
Andrea Baker. Swindon Powertrain Limited. Swindon.
Jayne is an excellent trainer, so passionate about what she does and always gives 110%. A true expert in her field and delivers her knowledge in a clear and concise manner.
Claire Gadd. Director and founder of Your Tax Limited.
An excellent trainer, Jayne fully understood our requirement as a business and then delivered clear precise training which was easy to understand for every candidate. Jayne was a true professional and it was a pleasure for us all to have her instruct on Sage 50 Payroll and Sage 50 P11d.
Jason Barton. HR Director. Tokheim Solutions Group Limited. Dundee.
We have been using Jayne for Sage 50 Accounts and Sage 50 Payroll training over the past five years. Jayne has trained our staff through all aspects of Sage 50 and Sage payroll. We are very pleased with the excellent training Jayne provides.
Joanna Allison. Financial Director Star International Limited. Birkenhead.
The one day Payroll workshop was brilliant and we achieved everything that I wanted to do so thank you very much.
Jayne is excellent and we really enjoyed working with her, thank you. I will sure bear you in mind if we need any future assistance.
Kris Gregory. Financial Controller – Blue Machinery Spares Limited, Warrington.
We are a Northampton shire based Charity and early last year was faced with implementing a new finance system to replace the rather outdated and in part, manual system that we had in place. We benchmarked the various systems on the market and decided to implement Sage, which we purchased via an authorised reseller.
Sage advised that once all fees are paid the software can be downloaded and you are ready to start. Experience has taught me that this is rarely the case and that time spent on implementation is key to any system working efficiently and providing the management information in a useful format.
At this point, Jayne Martins came to help. What a revelation and stroke of good fortune!
I advised Jayne what the organisation’s objectives were and what we were hoping that Sage would provide as regular management information. Jayne instantly understood and quickly outlined the options available to us. From here, we devised an outline plan of the setup work that was needed and the order in which it needed to be completed. Following the plan, we completed the setup work in stages, with Jayne’s on-site visits periodically, to review progress and complete training.
Jayne’s help was invaluable and is the reason why our Sage system is working efficiently and cost-effectively for our organisation. We have the Sage ‘Charity’ add on option switched on that will produce our SOFA statutory account reports; we would not have known this existed without Jayne’s advice. Jayne also set up lots of customised document templates for us. Jayne uses Sage regularly herself and is not just a trainer and consultant, which means that she understands the real daily issues and challenges that face users and can provide real solutions. The integration of Sage 50 Payroll to Sage 50 Accounts was a mammoth set up task but was made easy with Jayne’s instruction and insight. Now that our very detailed and intricate Payroll journals automatically update the Nominal Ledger, we save many man-hours of manual calculating and data input time and, having been told by Sage Technical Support that we would not be able to achieve what we wanted with our Payroll journal due to the huge number of Nominal departments we have in use, we were not aware that this was an option for us until Jayne took a look at it and guided us through the huge mapping process.
Following the successful implementation of our Accounts and Payroll systems and now that we have used them for a few months, we recently arranged a further consultation visit from Jayne. This formed a question and answer session utilising Jayne’s considerable experience and insight into the most efficient processing methods. This involved in some instances, small tweaks to streamline processes but we know from experience that these are things that can make a real difference to an organisation and we know that this advice is not available from the Sage Technical Support Help Desk. This type of knowledge comes only with the considerable experience of actually using Sage within a business, something which Jayne has in abundance thankfully.
In summary, Jayne worked with us to achieve a system that meets all of our requirements and manages our large volume processes. We would not have the fully functioning efficient system that we have today without her help. The money invested in consultancy was small compared to the gains we received.
In short – excellent value for money.
Jayne was mindful of our charitable status and hence the need to keep costs to a minimum. Her great flexible approach allowed us to plan her visits in stages so that we gained the ultimate benefit. She is a pleasure to work with and her training and expertise is invaluable. Thank you very much.
Heather Whyment. Finance Director. Age UK Limited. Northamptonshire.
Jayne pointed out and discussed aspects of Sage Payroll that I had no knowledge of beforehand. She has a good all round knowledge of the software and presented it well.
David Homer – The Children’s Family Trust Limited, Bromsgrove
We’ve been using Sage for a while now and wanted to have a review of our processes, Sage reports and recap many Sage functions. Jayne is friendly and professional making the day enjoyable and relaxed with lots being learnt.
Sally Fenwick – Illumin8 Lights Limited
Electrifying – Jayne is a very strong trainer and advisor. Nothing is too much trouble and her depth of knowledge and understanding of our needs is very reassuring.
Kevin McEvoy – National Security Inspectorate.
We thought we knew quite a bit about Sage payroll, but Jayne knew so much more! We now have a document with around 20 improvement ideas on it – brilliant, great value for money.
Sue Linney, Financial Controller – Fike Safety Technology Limited.
Not just a trainer. Jayne was not only very knowledgeable about Sage but by using her wider experience of bookkeeping was able to steer us towards how best to set up our new set of accounts, so as to get the reports that would be most useful to us without needing too much bespoke work doing.
Graham Price – Oak Warehouse Limited.
It was a good productive couple of days Payroll training with the final outcome being exactly where we wanted it to be. I must say I am very impressed with the level of professionalism and support from both yourself and Dayta Designs to date and look forward to the rest of the project. The software is fantastic from my point of view and has already proved its worth given the basic reports that I have been able to run on the limited data that has been entered so far. Once HR is also up and running it will be amazing.
Gary Stewart – Honda Logistics Limited. Swindon
Jayne has been training our new Sage 50 clients since May this year on a contract basis. She came recommended to us by a company we partner with. We have been very impressed with her professionalism and dedication to the job. It is clear her knowledge of the product is at expert level and she has the patience of a saint when it comes to dealing with all kinds of people in various roles. All the feedback from our customers has been outstanding and I trust her completely. Easily one of the best Sage trainers I’ve come across.
Sam Ayres, Director – Dayta Designs – Sage Business Partner.
