Client Login
Gilligan Sheppard clients can access their own electronic data space, as a result you can send information securely to us. In addition you can view your uploaded documents as required. We send out an annual checklist for collating information to prepare your financial statements and tax returns using your client login.
Gilligan Sheppard send a financial package to you the client, which includes; financial statements, tax returns and minutes. Consequently, these can be signed and returned electronically in a matter of minutes using our online portal from wherever you have an internet connection.
The client portal uses cloud technology that can be accessed via the internet. All communications and file attachments are encrypted. This makes it far more secure than using email attachments. This means clients can use the client portal knowing that their documents are secure and confidential.
Our electronic checklist is very popular and easy to use. You can easily upload scanned documents from your computer and backups of any electronic data created from accounting packages. In order for us to prepare accurate accounts and income tax returns, we need accurate information from you. We try not to use accounting jargon so please let us know if you don’t understand something.
If you have any problems with the questionnaire or use a Mac computer, please contact us and we can send the questionnaire by snail mail. If you haven’t already been sent your client login details, please contact us.

Client feedback is always the best part of the setup and conversion to Xero. Our clients experience has been that they have received more than expected:
“With the help of Gilligan Sheppard, the change to Xero went smoothly. We were fully supported whilst we came to grips with the new software and we always received prompt responses to queries.
Xero saves me time on a daily basis and is easy to use – I recommend it to everyone I speak to.”
Gail Kingston, Administration Manager, Citymed Medical Limited
“Xero is a godsend! The more I use it, the less I have to do. My previous accounting software is in the rubbish as I’ve realised I don’t have to be a Microsoft Technician to operate Xero. As with anything worthwhile, there is a minimal initial cost; setup, linking to my accounts, tuition at the Gilligan Sheppard offices and a monthly subscription fee.
Gilligan Sheppard came to my home to make sure I had a grasp of the system and they provide help over the phone. It’s a great system – the future in accounting is already here.”
Richard Hood, Universal Flooring Limited, Centreline Properties Ltd.
