Do you mean the spelling?
Bureau is a word of french origin, so the plural of bureau isn't bureaus, but bureaux.
take your pick
The usual plural in British English is bureaux. The usual plural in American English is bureaus
Potential Bad news for cloud payroll innovator Staffology users, if they pay for it, there is a possibility they will be paying double or even more for the service in around 3 years time, but maybe the fees will remain the same, who knows in the current climate.
I am sure that Duane has maximised his profit which is fine and he has had dealings with them before via Kashflow so hopefully IRIS will get it right this time or will they continue to be vultures
well with all of your knowledge of IRIS............hazard a guess
(probably best if you don't reply, you never know who might be reading this article.)
IRIS do not offer their tax / statutory packages as cloud products which is very disappointing and it seems the only way they "innovate" is buy up those that are providing clients what they need then collect the fees as their return and stifle the competition . Does not give a great deal of confidence that their own R&D people are up to much which could mean poor service at increased fees moving forward . I remember them taking over a payroll company many years ago and accountants had to change sharpish as the software became so cumbersome and slow. Fingers crossed for the current users . I only hope my payroll software provider is planning to offer their product on the cloud soon as it is clearly the way to go .
The Freeway disaster, I will always remember, they buggered up our computers and charged us for the privelige
Iris did offer a cloud based version of their tax software a number of years ago but was taken off the market after the number of compaints about it :)
I have been trying a few cloud payroll software and Staffology is one of them. It is the best in the market but lacks many features of Money Soft. Thus I am going to stick with MS despite it is still desktop based.
Got an email today from CEO of Senta saying they have been bought by IRIS.
Sad day, again this is VERY bad news for the accounting profession and innovation. IRIS just buy any decent small innovative software suppliers. Happened to Taxfiler now Senta.
Can't blame the founders but it is a sad day
IRIS need their wings severely clipped in my view
