Ember bus is brilliant
Ember bus is brilliant! Every time I’ve used the service the drivers are always so friendly and kind. The bus is air conditioned and comfy, nice toilet and clean. Definitely recommend! ☺️
Disappointed with Ember
We have visited Ember on several occasions and, until now, have always found the Sunday lunch to be very good. Unfortunately, this week's experience was disappointing.
We ordered the beef, chicken and lamb. The beef was good, but both the chicken and the lamb were dry and overcooked. For a restaurant of this calibre, consistently serving properly cooked roast meats should be a basic expectation.
We mentioned this to our waiter during the meal, but nothing was done to address the issue, which was equally disappointing.
Another change we found frustrating is that beer is now served in very small bottles while being priced at a premium. It gives poor value for money and detracts from what was previously a very enjoyable dining experience.
We hope this was simply an off day, as we have always enjoyed visiting Ember in the past, but this experience has certainly made us think twice before returning for Sunday lunch.
First rate company with a five star…
First rate company with a five star service.I traveled from Aberdeen to Montrose yesterday unfortunately I left an article of clothing on the bus .After contacting ember they traced the article of clothing and organised the return of it to me today.A big thank you to Ethan at ember who organised the return of my article of clothing.
Clean, reliable & friendly drivers
I am regular user of Ember buses and I think everything about them is great. The buses are clean, comfortable & quiet. The drivers are generally very friendly & helpful so well done to the recruitment process. Buses are reliable or passengers are kept well informed about delays. Keep up the great work Ember!
Very poor service.
Bus was good. Service was not.
Was 15 minutes late. Then completely ignored my stop that was on the route. No compensation, no acceptance of a mistake. Just a deal with it.
Lovely friendly driver.

I've been using them for over an year and i don't have anything bad to say.
what a joke
sign up today, linked my bank account. Did two self assesments. for them to say they are not taking on anymore customers. yet they took my data, took my banking data, still showing refer a friend on the website and still allowing new sign ups and still taking money. Should NOT be supported by the UK Government.

Brilliant, since Day 1
As a small company director with little experience and know-how, Ember has been a real life-saver since day 1. From Tas and Steven's help on a weekly and general basis to answer all my silly questions, to Martin's amazing help with my self-assessment accounts and the wonderful Erin's help and promptness with my company accounts - I'm truly grateful to have such a brilliant and expert team there each step of the way. Ember is brilliant, and I don't know what I'd do without them!
Ember is a great platform
Ember is a great platform. The support team are really what make the experience fantastic. As a first time limited company director, there's a lot to get your head around, luckily the team have always been on hand to patiently help me through many problems and queries over the year that I've been with the platform. They never give me the feeling that I'm asking too much or too simple of a question. I've had a great experience and I'd recommend them to anyone. Special thanks to Erin, Steve, Tas and Ashleigh for their patience.
Erin, Tas and Katie have been taking fantastic care of me
Overall, great tool*, though the real value for me lies in the team. Erin, Tas and Katie have been taking fantastic care of me and all of my endless queries and needs over the last two years.
The dev team continues to make changes to the software and add more advanced features to give better insight, though it can sometimes be a little intrusive to the day-to-day look and navigation.
I know the plans recently got overhauled and made slightly more expensive, but if I hadn't had to suspend my business due to personal reasons, I would still consider the premium plan good value.
*It's great for most businesses, though more for invoice or service-based businesses rather than commerce, if you have mixed VAT and a lot of physical sales/inventory to track, something like XERO is recommended.
DO NOT BUY
Purchased three Ember Mugs! to leave in my offices, unfortunately, these Mugs are temperamental, one day they work and the other don't. followed Ember advice to reset and reinstall the mugs on the APP , but this is a painstaking process, and one would expect high-priced mugs to function in a better way, I have taken them to the dealer (curry) who replaced it only to go back to the same problem after 6 weeks .
There is no help line: forms on the PC screen !!!!
Poor quality products- DONT BUY
Erin from Ember is great
Erin from Ember is great. She handles all my queries really quickly, was great on filing all the year end returns and has good knowledge of all the tax aspects that a small business really need to think about. I find the Ember system really easy to use, and overall great value for money from their all inclusive service plan because they do my personal director tax filing as well.
Highly recommend
I've been with ember for the past few years, they've made my accounting so smooth and simple. The whole team have been fantastic, especially Sarah. Always quick to respond and happy to help. I'd highly recommend using Ember.
Super efficient service
Super efficient service, great advice and support!
Four
Ember's support is generally good, I think the only way you can get better support is if you have a direct, personal accountant. The main reason I haven't considered going for a personal accountant instead of an agency is that my assigned accountant in Ember, Erin, has been so reliable that I don't see the need.
Hugely thankful and very happy
Hugely thankful and very happy. Super happy with Erin, Tas, Steven and the whole Team that has gone over and beyond to be of support and help. Exceptional understanding, patience, good will and delivery! Can't recommend enough.
Can't recommend enough
Steve and the Ember team were incredibly helpful and accomodating. We went from creating to closing my company together and I'd go back to them to do it all again if I had to.
Amazing experience
The customer support is awesome. Quick, responsive and helpful. Just became the client and asked support for an official confirmation letter for the overseas government, which was urgent. My request was fulfilled quickly, in less than an hour. Special thanks to Tas who was helping me directly!
Thanks Ember!
Ember gave me everything I needed accounting wise for my SME when I moved from Sole Trader to an LTD. I had full control of my finances and an accountant to speak to when tax and other legal finance aspects were unclear. They helped from corporation tax returns, forecasting, self assessment returns, categorisation and the list goes on. Being a paying member of Ember also helped me learn a lot about taxes and the UK Gov system.
Big thanks to all the staff for your help over the years, including the dev team for putting a great platform together.
Only reason I left is because my company has been dissolved in the UK, I miss you guys already, I wish UAE had something like this.
