This week on Digi-Tools in Accrual World - sponsored by FYI - we’re diving deep into the latest fintech news, with a close-up on the tools and platforms redefining the tech stack for accountants. From HMRC compliance and accounting tech consolidation to next-gen workflows and AI-powered innovation, we unpack how firms are adapting - and what’s coming next.
Whether you’re watching accounting tech news unfold or actively planning your firm’s next move, this episode has plenty to get your teeth into.
We cover:
• CCH iFirm’s new MTD for Income Tax solution - and why John Toon’s surprisingly impressed • Access launches “Evolve” - an ERP-style suite bundling Fathom, Lightyear and more • Employment Hero’s free payroll software for micro-businesses • Dext drops GPS mileage tracking, auto-descriptions and bulk approval tools • Mimo adds planned payment dates for smarter forecasting • Active Workpapers integrates with CloudCapcha to bring timesheet automation into its workpapers suite • Sleek raises $23m to expand its hybrid tech-accounting platform • HMRC loses £47m to fraudulent PAYE claims • UK government departments owe £1.65m in unpaid invoices - some dating back 18 years
Plus – we’re joined by Harv from Scoro, digging into the shift from accountant to FinOps advisor, and how PSA platforms like Scoro are helping firms evolve their client service, pricing models and digital strategy.
If you’re trying to keep pace with accounting tech innovation and want to stay ahead of changes in digital transformation - this one’s worth a listen.
