**INTRODUCING** Shoebox Reply Service

Well before my time, business people would stuff receipts and bills in an old shoebox and hand it over to their book-keeper to handle.


Timessence works on the same principle, in that we don't expect our clients to organise their paperwork beforehand. We'll take it as it comes.


Based on the success of our shoebox book-keeping, we've introduced a much requested service by our clients:


Shoebox Reply Service.


Simply hand over a 'shoebox' full of your unopened or unanswered business/personal correspondence and forms. We will get to work sorting, organising and prioritising, ready to take all the necessary action on your behalf for the all inclusive price of 85Euros (excl. BTW)*


*matters that require a professional third party provider e.g. lawyer or accountant are not included.
