Their cloud technology keeps our financial information readily accessible, and our management team is impressed with the detailed reporting. Heighten truly understands the care home business, and I highly recommend them.
Heighten has grown with us as our business has expanded. Before working with them, managing our accounts, payroll, and financial obligations was stressful. Heighten made the process stress-free and streamlined our payroll. They provide timely financial information for our care homes and building acquisitions.

Heighten completely sorted out our accounts and bookkeeping after our previous accountants left us in a mess. They ensure our financial reports are properly presented and continue to do so. We’ve built a great relationship with the team, and periodic meetings keep us updated. Recently, we’ve discussed tax savings. I highly recommend Heighten for your care home business.
