AN online accounting software supplier has launched a partnership with a leading national business support body.

Longwood-based Liquid Accounts has teamed up with the Forum of Private Business, a not-for-profit organisation working with thousands of small and medium-sixed firms around the UK.

The partnership gives FPB members exclusive money-saving deals on top of the standard subscription to Liquid Accounts’ accredited and award-winning online accounting software, including free personalised invoice template and free import of existing accounting data.

Chris Eccles, commercial director for Liquid Accounts, said: “This is a great opportunity for us and just the sort of partnership we are looking for.

“Statistics show that businesses that use some sort of bookkeeping software are more likely to survive, thrive and grow.

“We hope to help members of the FPB gain skills and expertise that will help them succeed. Using Liquid Accounts will give them access to their business information whenever they need it to help them analyse sales and keep on top of how much money they have.

“They’ll also have information to hand for their bank manager or accountant or to get support from the FPB.”

The launch has been timed to allow members to sign up before the VAT rate rises from 17.5% to 20% on January 4. It also coincides with the Government’s announcement of a commitment to provide universal superfast broadband by 2015 – giving all businesses access to the time and cost-saving benefits of cloud computing.
