ACCOUNTANTS

At Acclipse, we share an on-going and intimate relationship with our clients and partners. Recently, I met with a number of accounting firm owners who are running their businesses on iFirm, to gather feedback and to understand how we can serve them better. I asked a number of them about their experience of moving their IT operations to the cloud and how they are reaping the benefits of the move.

This video is the first in a series of conversations with accounting firm owners about iFirm, the Cloud and how it has changed the way they do business. Today, we have Tim Munro, Director of Change Accountants, Brisbane sharing with us what led him to online software, the real benefits of the cloud in the day to day functions of the firm and how his staff embraced it and have taken the business to the next level.

Watch the short video below (2:20).

In Acclipse Client Accounting, ledgers are always based on a Master Chart. Whether you create a new ledger, or import one from MYOB AO, you will be asked to select a Master Chart. The available master charts depend on the entity type of the client.

The Master Chart contains pre-defined account codes, relevant to the entity type, for example Full Reporting Company â€" FRS. This structure means that you never need to copy the ledger of another client. You simply create a new ledger based on the Master Chart you require.

The Master Charts are standardised and locked to match the supplied Master Reports.

Once the ledger is created, you can make customisations to the accounts by viewing and editing the accounts on the Chart tab.

The latest release of iFirm sees the introduction of a new feature allowing users to customise their own 901 letter templates.

This solves the headache of trying to line up your templates with IRD pre-printed stationery, as well as providing the flexibility to make simple changes to the wording of your letters.

The video below is the first in a series we'll be producing, and demonstrates how the editing tool works in one of the most common scenarios an accounting firm faces: receiving new 901 letter stationery from the IRD.

It's been a long held dream of mine to deliver a real 'collaborative accounting' solution that truly empowers accounting business success.

Many of you will be aware that through the years of CA-Systems and Acclipse I've attempted to deliver this through partnerships with several business accounting product suppliers.

Today I'm thrilled to announce iBizz (a full online accounting product) and let you know that we've formed a business alliance with BankLink to deliver it to you.

Christchurch, one year on

Today marks the first anniversary of the earthquake that hit Christchurch at 12:51 pm on Tuesday, 22 February 2011.

I know for many of our Christchurch-based staff, clients and other members of the wider Acclipse community this is an important day of reflection, and a significant milestone in the recovery journey.

The people and businesses of Christchurch have shown incredible resilience over the past 12 months - weathering the constant barrage of aftershocks, and dealing with the uncertainly they bring.

With the increased number of events and webinars our team has been running lately, it was no surprise when attendees started asking, 'Will this count toward my CPD?'

Our answer is plain and simple, 'Yes!'.

After discussions with NZICA, we can confirm that all Acclipse training sessions count as verifiable Continuing Professional Development hours.
