An increasing number of once contented Drummohr Tax users have switched to Keytime Tax because of concerns that the acquisition by Iris will inevitably lead to the loss of their product and price hikes.

The most recent one is CIMA qualified Mike Doyle of Doyles of Birmingham.

“I cannot see them not putting the price up,” he insists. “Why else would they have purchased the company in the first place unless they had this in mind?

“What I am expecting to see is them produce an Iris Lite.”

It was these issues that drove Mike Doyle to search the market for an alternative and also further streamline his practice by adding Accounts Production software.

The only other supplier that came in for active consideration was PTP but there were a number of factors that eventually ruled these products out of the equation.

  • Again uncertainty again about the future of the products and pricing because PTP had also been the subject of acquisition by Iris
  • The current PTP price structure which according to Mike Doyle becomes “exorbitant when you reach a certain number of users”

“What happens with PTP is they penalise you for success – and Keytime don’t. And at the moment we are doing quite well because of the recession as clients are coming to us from mid range accountants because our fees are less.

“However, this does not mean we don’t have to keep a close eye on our own overheads. That’s why the case to buy Keytime was so strong.”

Mike Doyle reports the transition to Keytime couldn’t have been easier.

“Keytime software – like Drummohr – is very simple to use. It took me about half an hour to get the hang of Tax and start producing returns. So what could be easier than that?

“And I also have the peace of mind knowing that the product I am using won’t suddenly change or go up dramatically in price overnight . . .”
