Our Top Picks of the Sessions and Speakers Not to Miss at Accountex 2018

There are times when a supplier gets the mix ‘just right’. And that’s what we believe the team behind Accountex have done since year one. As an event, it’s a very clever cocktail of suppliers, content and leading speakers that accountancy firms, Finance Directors and industry professionals all love. From the outside, the event line-up may seem like a happy coincidence, but when you take a closer look at the speaker line up, the theatres, the support from associations and media partners, you’ll start to understand why Accountex is unique. For that reason, we believe every accountant in practice or in business should attend.

To say there is always a lot happening is an understatement and as a flagship partner, one way we can contribute is with a specially developed App that is available for all visitors to download onto their Smartphones. The 2018 edition is jam packed with information on all the keynote sessions, seminars and workshops and where to find exhibitors along with useful tools such as
a Mileage Tracker and Receipt Manager. These will be invaluable in helping to keep track of receipts and in preparing expenses claims, following the show.
