We as accountants have to focus a great deal on getting proper IT support, otherwise we could not deal with the zillions of records our clients have. We work with a great number of software providers to help us with our bookkeeping and accounting. We deal with market leaders like Sage, Xero, Clearbooks, Intuit Quickbooks.
But most people forget that bookkeeping is not the same as tax. When it comes to tax it gets more complicated and an accountant needs to be able to rely on the technology they have to complement their expertise. We work with Thomson Reuters Digita who are market leaders in their field. It is quite complex software, and we know our clients don’t normally get involved at that level. But it is important for clients to know that their accountant uses cutting edge IT to make sure they can deliver good results for their clients.
