Today’s Daily Insight is less about what’s happening in the world of accounting and finance and more about exciting times at Accounting Insight News. Yes, that’s right, we’re blowing our own trumpet (a little bit).

Just to recap, Accounting Insight News is the new content platform running in partnership with the UK’s  top two events for accounting and finance professionals, Accountex London and Accountex Summit North.

We’re aiming to become a favourite stopping off point for anyone who wants to find out what’s going on in finance and accounting. We have a tasty menu of news, features and blogs; articles, videos and podcasts. We’ll be focusing on tech developments, big issues like MTD and GDPR and the people who make the sector tick.

Great stuff on the site

We’ve only been going a week but, already, we’ve got some great stuff on the site, with even more in the offing.

Last week we were at Accountex Summit North at Manchester Central. The event proved a hit with conference visitors, exhibitors and our speakers. And one of the highlights was the formation of Women in Accountancy. The new group, with the self-explanatory title,  was born after a successful round table discussion headed by chartered accountant Elaine Clarke. The group has its own section on the Accounting Insight News and its THE place to follow the progress of WIA.

High-altitude accounting

As a regular highlight of Accounting Insight News, I’ll be interviewing key influencers in the industry. This feature kicks off with a fascinating interview with accountancy marketing expert Amanda Watts. Check it out here.

Also on the site, we have a high-altitude accounting feature with Paul ShrimplingAnd there’s an in depth conversation between business development expert Rob Brown and Australian accountancy thought leader Trent McLaren.

There’s also a snappy  introduction to the General Data Protection Regulations that will be coming into play shortly plus several blog posts on issues and solutions for today’s accountants.
