Advanced Business Solutions

Awards, Accreditations & Memberships

Software from Advanced Business Solutions has received a large number of external awards and accreditations from highly respected third parties. OpenAccounts, for example, has been short-listed for the Accountancy Age awards for the last nine years, winning on five occasions.

Advanced Business Solutions continually strives for excellence in product and service delivery with a strong focus on customer satisfaction. Our above average industry allocation on research and development ensures that we can drive our products forward in line with sector and technology requirements and demands.

We include below an outline of third party endorsements and accreditations which we hope will give you confidence in our product delivery. For example, when the new CIS scheme came along early in 2007, we ensured that we had software that operated across all our financial management modules well ahead of the deadline. We also ensured that the software was externally accredited by HMRC in time for online filing.
