ADVERTISING FEATURE<br />
We caught up with Kevin Read<br />
from Innervision Accountancy<br />
to ask him how they<br />
are helping small<br />
businesses transform<br />
their bookkeeping through<br />
automation...<br />
Kevin with his wife Claire started<br />
Innervision Accountancy 25 years ago,<br />
with the aim of offering something<br />
different by embracing digital solutions.<br />
Everything is now done online through<br />
cloud-based systems – in their case<br />
QuickBooks Online.<br />
Innervision Accountancy were one of the<br />
first firms of accountants in the UK to<br />
offer cloud-based accounting solutions<br />
to their clients. They are partnered<br />
with Intuit; the makers of QuickBooks<br />
and all staff are qualified QuickBooks<br />
Professional Advisors. Kevin is an<br />
Advanced Professional Advisor and Intuit<br />
Certified trainer.<br />
We help our clients implement cloudbased<br />
systems, Kevin explains “which<br />
means much less time is spent on<br />
the mundane repetitive bookkeeping<br />
tasks through bank feeds and machine<br />
learning. It also means we can access our<br />
clients’ financial date ‘live’ in real-time<br />
enabling us to be proactive – something<br />
that has been more important as ever<br />
over the last year. We also look at<br />
other applications that link in with the<br />
accounting solution to make businesses<br />
more efficient.”<br />
What is cloud accounting?<br />
You keep your business books online.<br />
You can access your data wherever you<br />
are, on any device, so long as you have<br />
an internet connection. This means you<br />
can generate invoices or estimates on<br />
the go or process payments immediately.<br />
Your data is always safely secured and<br />
backed up online.<br />
What are Bank feeds?<br />
A Bank feed is a secure online connection<br />
between your accounting software and<br />
your bank and helps to automate a large<br />
amount of bookkeeping work.<br />
Much is said about the development<br />
of cloud computing and digital<br />
transformation in business, but how<br />
in your opinion is the adoption of<br />
the latest technology in accounting<br />
developing?<br />
“That’s a big question”, Kevin says “but<br />
what we are seeing is more businesses<br />
using bank feeds, receipt capture<br />
and other third-party apps. This is<br />
encouraging and shows businesses are<br />
recognising the benefits of automation<br />
and technology.”<br />
Who is really driving the change?<br />
Is it businesses or accountants? “I think<br />
it’s a bit of both. We see a lot of small<br />
businesses using QuickBooks and they<br />
have passed that to their accountants.<br />
But we also see it the other way around.<br />
You meet a lot of accountants who favour<br />
QuickBooks and are encouraging clients<br />
to make the move.”<br />
