&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t need to be added  to the bank to set up payments, which cuts out all the admin on that side.  It&rsquo;s a great collaborative tool for businesses of all sizes to work alongside a bookkeeper, without  the bookkeeper having the extra anxiety around payments. It also works where other apps don&rsquo;t, due  to it not relying on open banking.&rdquo;

Introducing Festival of Accounting &amp; Bookkeeping: A new kind of event for accountants &amp; bookkeepers
FAB is a new kind of live event. Most importantly for ICB members is the '&amp; Bookkeeping' part of our name!
The Festival of Accounting &amp; Bookkeeping is here to disrupt the status quo and rethink every element of the modern day accounting event. Taking place on 13-14 March 2024 at the NEC, Birmingham, FAB is a two day event of transformational thought and technology putting bookkeepers and accountants at the very heart of what we do.
FAB is the first large event after-tax season - but it&rsquo;s not enough to be first! Our audience have told us we need to offer something different. An event not just full of the same old same old. Meaningful content that talks with people, not at them. A place where you can do and enjoy business, not struggle to hear yourself think.
By working with the ICB, we're dedicated to creating an event that finally recognises and serves the bookkeeping community. As well as all the best exhibitors and content sessions, our dedicated Bookkeeping Retreat will be a place to relax, network, make new friends and meet old ones as well as talk to the kind of thought leaders who can help you grow your businesses.
And now we want to hear from YOU - who you want to see, what you want to do and how you want to get involved.
&bull; Pop along to our stand and tell us what you want from a bookkeeping event. &bull; Sign up to our <a title="FAB Newsletter" href="https://www.fab.uk/newsletter?utm_source=fab24&amp;utm_medium=partner&amp;utm_campaign=icbsummitfabnewsletter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FABulous newsletter</a> to discover what we're cooking up &bull; Or just email us at hello@fab.uk and - yes -&nbsp; say hello!

Revolutionize Bookkeeping for Small Businesses with MyT: Designed with Bookkeepers in Mind!
Traditional cloud accounting software has long been the norm, but for bookkeepers working with small and micro businesses, the high costs of leading software products can be a barrier. To automate bookkeeping efficiently, many businesses end up subscribing to multiple products, further adding to their expenses.
For those businesses resistant to adopting software, they often resort to spreadsheet-based solutions or stick to old-fashioned paper records, which they hand over to their bookkeepers, often at year-end. However, these methods come with their own set of challenges. Spreadsheet-based solutions can burden bookkeepers with additional on-premises IT hardware costs and limit their working flexibility. Paper-based records carry the risk of receipts being lost, potentially leading to overstated profits and higher tax liabilities. Processing paper records at year-end can also result in late accounts preparation and the imposition of HMRC fines.
MyT was meticulously crafted for bookkeepers to tackle these issues head-on. It's a single, all-encompassing software solution that empowers users to snap pictures of receipts, eliminating the risk of misplacing them. The product then intelligently analyses and records the receipt in the appropriate accounts. Users can create and send invoices effortlessly, even on the go, eliminating the need to dedicate evenings to invoicing. VAT returns are automatically calculated and easily submitted to HMRC, reducing the chances of manual calculation errors and late filing penalties.
For bookkeepers, MyT offers a user-friendly solution for their smaller clients, streamlining the account processing and finalization process, preserving profit margins, and minimizing the need for additional staff. It's the ultimate bookkeeping ally, designed to meet the specific needs of bookkeepers like you."
MyT's pricing structure acknowledges that most bookkeepers operate on tight profit margins and cannot afford steep software subscriptions. The end result? A product that saves users time, mitigates the risk of lost receipts, ensures accurate records, and prevents late submission fines&mdash;all without breaking the bank.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Log in to our online event from your computer or smart phone. You can meet other bookkeepers in the virtual lounge, post a selfie in the event feed, and start messaging people.
You'll find the online venue for the Bookkeepers Summit is like a private Facebook just for bookkeepers.&nbsp;
All ticket holders get access to the lounge, attendee directory, direct messaging and other networking features, but if you've got an In-Person Only ticket you won't get access to the online sessions.
Please get in touch with the friendly team at ICB on 0203 4054000 if you have any questions about ticket types.

We'll journey through the technological advancements that have reshaped the bookkeeping landscape over the years. Discover how technology, often considered a disruptor, has, in fact, become a powerful ally in the bookkeeper's toolkit. Eva will guide you through the exciting possibilities that technology offers to revolutionise your bookkeeping business.

Explore how the role of bookkeepers has shifted from the shadows to the forefront of financial success. Learn how you can "do it your way" by harnessing the power of technology to evolve your business, drive efficiency, and deliver unparalleled value to your clients.

All business owners will exit their business at some point in the future. This is inevitable, it will happen. Whether you pass it down to your children, sell it or just let it die down. This session is aimed at bookkeeping practices who want to see the true potential and value of the asset that they have created. Up to 80% of accountancy practices don't even reach the point of sale as they don't realise the value of their business - the asset. In fact, most accountancy practices have no plans at all and have never even thought about having an exit strategy. They don't think like this as they are in a 'vicious circle".&nbsp;
In this session, you will be motivated and inspired to see how you can start to increase the maximum value of your business, even if you have no plans to exit yet. It will teach you how to maximise the value of your business so that when the time comes to exit, you can sell for the highest possible multiple to give you and your family the financial freedom that you deserve. &nbsp;
What will be covered: Why most accounting business owners get stuck in the 'vicious circle' Exit - the power of understanding what this means for you and your business What's holding you back from having the perfect business How to start on maximising the value of your business right now and love your practice!
&nbsp; Outcome:&nbsp; By attending this session, you will learn the true importance of your business being a valuable asset rather than just a job that you have created and to get out of the "vicious circle"
