“Accountex is always a great opportunity to get up to speed with everything that’s happening in the accounting industry. It’s a chance to meet with peers, and likeminded individuals, who all share one common cause – to help accountants in both practice and commerce,” says popular returning speaker Rudi Jansen, founder of Accoa and author of The Highly Profitable Accountant.
With 150 expert speakers in all, organiser Diversified Communications says there’s still plenty of big announcements to come.
“Sage, Xero, Intuit QuickBooks, ACCA, ICAEW, Compleat Software, IRIS, Wolters Kluwer, TaxCalc, FreeAgent – the list goes on and on, will all be sending their top experts to share the most up-to-date and relevant news, views, insights, advice, and inspiration for Accountex visitors this May,” says Zoe Lacey-Cooper, Accountex’s event director.
“Accountex is the only UK event that annually attracts so many of the profession’s leading innovators and key thinkers together in one place at one time. In just two days our visitors will be able to take away real-time solutions and ideas, which will help them to continue to provide the best all-round accountancy service possible. That’s why so many recommend it and call it their favourite show of the year,” she says.
“Consider it a pilgrimage – ‘it’ and ‘everyone’ is all there,” agrees Paul Dunn, chairman of B1G1 (the show’s returning charity partner).
