Being an estate agent is a way of life for Warren Black. After starting his first job at the age of 16, he founded his own estate agency with brother Simon.

Cityzen Estate Agents has offices in the heart of Clerkenwell and Whitechapel, which specialise in sales and lettings across areas such as Whitechapel, Bethnal Green, Docklands, Stepney, Clerkenwell, Islington and Kings Cross. They also offer property management, property investment and new homes services.

As a family owned and run business which competes with the biggest of corporate estate agents, Cityzen requires an accountant that really understands the business and the sector in which it operates.

The professional relationship with Harris Lipman began when Michael Bernstein, the estate agents’ accountant, joined the firm. By working with Harris Lipman, Mr Black has been able to take advantage of the Total Accounting Solution (TAS), which provides him with the time and freedom to focus on building Cityzen and operating it as efficiently as possible.

TAS is a tailored solution which takes care of all the estate agents’ accounting and payroll needs.

“We simply scan our invoices and paperwork on a weekly basis,” explains Mr Black, “and everything is electronically filed for us. We then receive monthly accounts and management reports.

“TAS saves us time and is cheaper than having someone sitting in the office doing the work.”

In fact, Mr Black has already recommended TAS to his friends who own businesses, as it “seems to work fine for us”.
