How BTCSoftware can help

Since 1999, BTCSoftware has been hard at work developing software that makes it easy for accountants to serve their clients. When Ian and Rob came up with the concept of BTCSoftware over a campfire at Scout Camp (more on that story here!), their aim was to create software built by accountants for accountants.

BTCSoftware’s SA Solution is an easy to use and intuitive tool that provides accountants with features that go beyond tax returns. With context-sensitive guidance notes, validation before submission and built-in reminders, our software gives you all you need to power through to January 31st.
