accountsIQ is accounting software designed by accountants specifically to suit the delivery of accounting services via a common platform to multiple clients. It allows accountants and BPO providers and their clients to collaborate via the Internet in maintaining their accounts as well as reviewing and analysing their results.

Responsibility for all aspects can be divided up so your client does as much or as little as is appropriate to the service you are offering - from posting transactions directly to merely viewing reports and dashboards for results.

It is a fully hosted service, delivered via the Internet without either you or your clients requiring their own IT infrastructure. This offers significant benefits over traditional accounting software including:

• Simultaneous real time access to clients' accounting records and business documents
• Productive collaboration between you and your clients, anytime and from anywhere
• No capital cost for you or your clients - simple monthly usage fee
• No need to maintain multiple versions of software to align with the version used by your clients
• No need to receive backup files of their data before carrying out your monthly tasks   
• Realtime access to Business Intelligence and KPIs for both you and your clients
• Modular design allows additional modules to be added as your clients grow
• System is fully scalable in terms of user and transaction volumes as your clients grow 

accountsIQ will help you to improve services, boost productivity, cut costs and create new revenue streams for your practice. It has been fully accredited by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
