Shropshire firm signs up for new accounting system
The first Shropshire firm has signed up for a new accounting system developed by a county business.
Get the Picture in Coleham, Shrewsbury, has become a customer of ICANetwork, an online accounting software package which aims to make life easier for small and medium sized companies.
Martin Smith, who runs Get the Picture with his partner Rachel Curteis, said that the new system had transformed his book-keeping and accounting methods of the shop, which specialises in framing and digital printing.
“ICAN is more cost effective than my previous software, easier to use and very accessible as it means I can check my accounts from my laptop wherever I am,” said Martin.
The ICANetwork system has been developed over the last three years by software specialist Mark Brawn in partnership with Shrewsbury chartered accountants Andrews Orme and Hinton.
Using the latest ‘cloud’ technology via secure online links, businesses and their professional advisers can access all their accounting records from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
Nigel Hinton of Andrews Orme and Hinton, based at Oxon Business Park, said: “We believe that ICAN will provide a value for money service to businesses who do not want to make a huge financial commitment to traditional accounting software.
“From the feedback we have had so far from Shropshire companies the system makes day to day record keeping simple and straight forward and if users need any help or support it is just a mouse click or phone call away.”
