Reporting Accounts

We are a leading UK provider of business intelligence.

These days things are always moving forward and nowhere more so than the online world, looking back over the last 40 years its amazing to think that there wasn’t always the internet, I recall the days of the bulletin boards before we had the world wide web.  The World of finance is moving forward too, but not always as fast as the technology driven world of the web or put another way, finance and accountancy is often a laggard when it comes to embracing change.

Business remains in some ways much as it was 40 years ago, in the UK at least there is still an attachment to office paper, though in the last 10 years at least invoices increasingly being parsed in and sent out electronically.  Given the slow pace of change in finance functions this is likely to need another 10 years at least before the potential of this area is fully grasped.

Given the somewhat clunky nature of their website and the huge amounts of data involved this means there is a vast amount of data available via the web, but it needs sites like ours to deliver that in a user friendly and informative way.

Companies in the UK are required to file accounts each year with a Government department known as Companies House.  All the data listed there is public and is open to review by anyone with an interest.   Actual understanding of the data there can be a challenge for even experienced accountants and can be daunting to the less experienced.
