The 12 digital days of Christmas – Day 11

Our not-as-delicious but eminently more useful alternative to the chocolate advent calendar!

Day 11 - IRIS Insight

Are you getting to that point yet when you’ve forgotten to open a couple of windows in your advent calendar and missed out on some chocolates? No? You must have a sweet tooth.

Talking of calendars, is there someone in your family who you can guarantee will gift you one every Christmas? The calendar is their staple festive present.

Not a bad one, of course, as they’re pretty handy things to have, especially when you’re running a business. Planning ahead is vital, wouldn’t you agree? To ensure you develop, grow and flourish.

Whilst it’s hard at times to plan to far ahead because, after all, none of us has a crystal ball. And no, sorry to disappoint, but this isn’t a lead in to the bit where we reveal IRIS Nostradamus – the new smart device that predicts the future for accountants. You will have to wait a little while for that. We can’t predict how long though…

We do, however, have something rather nifty that will help generate accurate cashflow forecasts and assist with your business planning for 2019; and show you how you might expand your services to help your practice prosper even more.

That’s why on day 11 of the digital days of Christmas, we’re focusing on IRIS Insight.
