New free "IT Security for Accountants in Practice"

e-guide available for download now.

 

Many companies large and small use their accountants not just to sort out tax and year-end accounts but increasingly rely on them for advice on a wide range of both strategic and day to day business issues as well as finance issues. 

 

IAAITC Member Firms see their main role as business advisers – looking after annual accounts and the compliance issues is just one element of their service.

 

So apart from offering advice in the traditional business areas such as Annual Accounts, Tax Returns, Customs & Excise, Accounting Records, Corporate Finance, Payroll, Capital Taxes and Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) for example, they also offer a broader range of services.

 

All IAAITC Member Firms provide comprehensive consultancy and implementation services for Information Technology (IT). Including ensuring that your web site is really effective and your web shop optimised.

 

Risk Management, Data Protection, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity are areas that no business can afford to ignore and many Member Firms can help you in this area. The IAAITC works with Get Safe On Line and the European Network Information & Security Agency (ENISA) to ensure that we have not only a full understanding of the issues and current threats, but also the cost effective solutions and current best practice.

 

Our Members gain expertise and knowledge in many areas of business as they deal with companies in a variety of industries and countries. With their wide reach, they track economic performance and are able to see best practice across many sectors – they can adapt techniques for your business.

 

Some Members have specialist teams, for legal, medical, and the leisure industry for example.

 

For many businesses, the relationship they have with their accountants is one of the most important. An IAAITC Member Firm will develop a close understanding of your business so they will become uniquely placed to help you and your business colleagues develop your business as effectively as possible.

 

So whether you are thinking of starting up in business, have an established business or are looking to retire and pass your business on, an IAAITC Member Firm should be your first port of call.
