What our customers say
“We engaged Catherine Brennan from Intelligent Business as a consultant to streamline our systems and procedures in the area of conveyancing. Catherine quickly understood our business model, analysed our requirements and then using our existing case management software built a user friendly system which has been embraced by everybody within the company. Catherine gets results using a practical approach which is refreshing. As a result of this successful project we have engaged Catherine in other projects. Catherine’s extensive qualifications in accountancy, tax and personal finance means that we have been able to call on Catherine’s expertise regularly. We would have no hesitation in recommending Catherine.”

Catherine’s knowledge of not only accounts but of good business processes have been invaluable to me over the years.
