Accounts Online signs formal reseller agreement with Liquid Accounts

FDYL has been instrumental in the planning and development of an exciting new business venture, Accounts Online UK Ltd, which will provide a one-stop bookkeeping and accounting service to smaller owner-managed SME businesses.

Accounts Online will use the latest developments in cloud computing after signing a reseller agreement with Liquid Accounts, the leading provider of online accounting software. This will allow secure access to accounting records from any location with broadband internet access.

FDYL Associate Graham Lawley has overseen the development project and has now taken up the role of Managing Director for the new business. "Accounts Online will deliver a totally flexible and cost-effective service to smaller SMEs," says Graham, adding "we're happy to provide a fully outsourced solution or to work hand in hand with a company's in-house finance team. Either way, our approach is based on providing practical, hands-on support that aims to add value to the client business. The use of Liquid Accounts is a key feature of our business model and allows our team to review information with clients from different locations at the same time, adding a new dimension to the level of support we can offer."

One of Graham's first tasks was to recruit a Sales Manager, Kevin Banks, who joined the team at the beginning of August. Kevin has wide-ranging experience in the financial services sector, including branch management positions with the Woolwich. He has also run his own commercial finance broking business.

"I'm very excited about the prospects for Accounts Online," says Kevin, "and with the Liquid Accounts deal, plus the support and experience of the FDYL team in the background, we have a great starting platform. I believe that we can make a real difference in the smaller SME sector, especially in the current climate where our fixed price model will help clients to control their costs."
