Customer Stories

Crack-a-Tax Limited

Aly Rainey

“I have used IRIS for many years and have always found it incredibly easy to use which is why I’ve stayed loyal for so long. It’s therefore great to see IRIS now venturing properly into a more cloud-based system, of which IRIS Elements and SmartTax is the showcase. SmartTax allows me to see the current tax status of the client I’m working on in real time, and it’s making a really positive difference to the preparation of my client tax returns as I no longer have to keep running the tax computation! I look forward to seeing Elements and SmartTax becoming part of the everyday provision.”

R Vann Limited

Lucy Vann-Patrick

“Elements is such an easy system to use the ID checks are quick and easy to use. Using both ID checks and risk assessments, you can make an informed decision on the client’s risk. Everything is self-explanatory and user friendly. The elements team are very friendly and quick at responding if I have any queries.”

Pink Pig Financials

Cheryl Sharp

“Senta is now the heart of our practice and has completely changed how we work. Before using practice management software, I didn’t know if we were meeting our targets. Now, because of Senta, I feel on top of things and I’m constantly tweaking and updating things as we improve the practice. The integrations in Senta are really helpful. We have it linked up to Xero, Companies House, Xavier Analytics and GoProposal. And I love how it integrates with GoProposal. It pulls the info through, does the proposal, adds in the services and the workflows, and even sends out the intro emails”

FAQ

At IRIS we know that no two businesses are the same. One set of accountancy tools will not solve the impact of all these changes. Every business will be affected differently depending on their client portfolio, their size and the services they offer.

By creating a platform IRIS Elements allows accountants to choose their own menu of accounting services or apps that suit their business needs thereby facilitating growth. By sharing data between these apps seamlessly we are improving the opportunities for accountants to become true business advisors to their clients should they want to, enabling them to make better decisions both for their business and those of their clients.
No. IRIS Accountancy Suite (and other desktop apps) will continue to be developed and enhanced for the foreseeable future. IRIS Elements provides choice for those accountants who want the latest technology today to enable them to progress their goals in new ways, but not all practices are ready (or want) to move to the cloud and this is why we will continue the development of our desktop apps. As you would imagine there is many more features and services we can develop in cloud computing so we hope to show you the benefits to your business of moving to the cloud.
The core construct of IRIS Elements is that we unify the technology. All the metrics and technology developments we discuss come from accountancy but are applicable to payroll, HR and other financial systems.
Yes.  IRIS Elements is built on a layer of APIs that will enable any third party or accounting firm to choose which apps and services they want to integrate.  We will make these APIs available as they are requested.
