Pioneering Chartered Accountants Haines Watts, with more than 30,000 UK clients across the network and over 60 offices nationwide including Exeter, has launched a new mobile app aimed at business owners, FDs and financial controllers. The exciting new app gives instant and continuous access to the latest UK Tax Rates on their iPhones. Download app here.
The app will be free to download from the app store. It will list a large proportion of UK tax rates, including Income Tax, Car & Fuel Benefits, Corporation Tax, VAT, Capital Gains Tax and National Insurance – amongst others.
Paul Benney Tax Partner at the Exeter office located in Southernhay, the financial heart of the City, says: “Time’s money with many business owners and FD’s working long hours so anything that streamlines accountancy; making it faster and more efficient is worth embracing. Giving them information at their fingertips whatever time of the day or night they need it is vital. Rather than having to use the internet via a PC to find out relevant tax rates or keep a hard copy tax card to hand, this app will allow access to tax rates anywhere, at any point in time.” Watch video here.
No other UK accountancy firm has offered such an app. The innovative move follows Haines Watts looking at how they can better serve business owners and Finance Directors by making information more easily accessible day to day.
Samantha Davies, Marketing Manager of Haines Watts, says: “Our partners, who are also business owners, rely on their phones now to access information 24/7 as a matter of course - we know that other business owners would be doing the same. Time is at a premium for business owners and FDs, and this is just a small step in the process of driving efficient and massively more convenient accountancy services. At Haines Watts we make sure we give business owners what they want, when they want it – technology is the ideal way to do this.”
Ben de Cruz Senior Partner says: “Every year we send out tax cards to our clients and contacts - in recent years we have become less reliant on hard copy material and emailed more. With access online via our website and now with our new app, we know that this will also have a positive impact on the environment” Haines Watts see the new app as only the beginning and will track downloads in the coming months looking to develop onto other platforms in the future. Following a successful launch Haines Watts will seek to invest in further app development to help business owners in their day to day business lives.
