“Been an IAB Member for over 10 years but this year during lockdown they really upped their game. Hosting bi-weekly zoom coffee meetings bringing together bookkeepers for general updates, chat and advice along with Guest Speakers on a variety of areas they were invaluable and really raised the IAB profile and were a great support to us all especially sole practitioners.”

“I joined the IAB in 2007 and the IAB have guided and supported me throughout my bookkeeping journey. Being regulated by them has enabled me to keep up to date with all the legislative requirements, ensure my record keeping is GDPR compliant, and has provided me with the weight to get new and old clients to comply with my business requirements. I have always found them helpful, approachable, friendly and knowledgeable and would not want to run my organisation without their support and guidance. It is priceless.”

I am passionate about helping other bookkeepers who like me face the challenges of AML and simply running a business. My voluntary role as an Ambassador with the IAB enables me to do this.

I've been a member of the IAB for 10 years now and have always found them to be extremely helpful. In 2020 when we all got hit by the pandemic, the IAB really stepped up and really helped us all through the lockdown with up-to-date information on furlough and payroll changes. I can't rate them highly enough. Thank you

I have been a member of the IAB for many years, through my whole bookkeeping career. The IAB shows my clients that I am a professional in my field and that I comply with high standards to practice as a bookkeeper. For the last 12 months I have attended all their coffee mornings, that have been priceless support for my knowledge of the current changes in the industry. The information received adds great value to my business and the receiving end of my clients. Now working as an IAB Ambassador, I have had the opportunity to work with the team and other bookkeepers, discussing all current and future support provided to all their members. I am very excited about all the plans ahead; the new website is excellent and the ever-growing support is priceless!
