Or try Twinfield online accounting

Hi,
As this article suggests, earlier online solutions were slow and cumbersome, usually because they were web enabled versions of traditional software, often accessed through products like Citrix. The best approach is a solution that is properly web architected, which will give you better performance, be easier to use, and easier to integrate with other systems and web services. We've launched just such a service in the UK. Twinfield are a Dutch company who started back in 2000 by some guys who left CODA. They have built up their solution to be the number 1 online accounting solution in the Netherlands with around 10,000 users. It is already in use by 6 of the top 10 accounting practices and bookkeeping firms over there, including BDO, ABAB and LTB. The solution is properly web architected from the ground up (i.e. not Citrix), and provides real-time accounting, project, hours and expenses recording, reporting, budgeting, credit management, salary data and billing. It's designed to be easy to use for small businesses, but the service is particularly suitable for (international) organisations working in multiple languages and currencies. The per user price varies from £3 to £53 per month, depending on the capabilities you need. We are also working with a payroll company who are about to launch a service that will cost £1 per month per employee.

Why report on Bond Partners when there is the scandal of Bond Partners Network.

 

Bond Partners Network reputation.

I understand that Bond Partners LLP is a very eminent firm of chartered accounts who we would expect to uphold the traditions of such an organisation which calls itself chartered.

How is it that they are connected with Bond Partners Network who have a lot of very angry 'members'?

Surely they should be doing everything to preserve their reputation? I see that they are preventing access to many threads on Baond Partners Network as so many people are posting embarqassing comments.

I take it that as they are a firm of such status that they are able to get Accounting Age to prevent access to the threads.
