We are delighted to announce a partnership with leading compliance and business support services company SimplyBiz, to develop a system called  Accounting Solutions. 

This is an exclusive online accounting system that produces reports in exactly the same format as the GABRIEL return. This return is mandatory for IFAs and inclusion in an accounting package offers them significant help with FSA returns. 

The SimplyBiz Group was launched in 2002, and provides compliance and business support services to some 2,000 financial services firms and 5,000 individual advisers nationwide.  SimplyBiz is committed to delivering exceptional and relevant services for all IFAs, from the smaller practice through to the largest.  The SimplyBiz 2009 offering is stronger than ever with numerous enhancements including the PLUS package for larger or more complex practices.  Since launch SimplyBiz has continuously won various accolades and awards and was voted “Best IFA Network / Support Services provider” by Professional Adviser in both 2008 and 2009.

Arithmo was in line for three awards, Web-based Accounting Software, Small business Accounting Software and Newcomer of the Year.

Although we were pipped at the post in each category, it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening in very grand surroundings.  Congratulations to all the winners.

We spoke to loads of people in our industry and we all know that Cloud solutions are gaining ground on traditional accounting software. Last night’s result demonstrates this.
