LJM working in partnership with ICB for software accreditations

We’re pleased to be helping the ICB with software accreditations. At LJM Bookkeeping we pride ourselves on being tech savvy and knowing about all the latest software in order to make our clients' lives much easier.


The latest accreditation we have helped with is for Comma. Comma is an open banking portal which creates a link between your bank accounts and your bookkeeping software. It works alongside most major banks.


In order for software to be accredited by the ICB an ICB member is appointed to review the software under strict criteria. We assess;


  • Value for money
  • Customer service
  • Ease of use for both bookkeepers & their clients
  • Integrations with other softwares
  • Support


Speaking to ICB Lara said:


"
Getting access to banking and making payments for clients can be a stressful experience for both the clients and bookkeepers. Not all clients want to give bookkeepers access, especially at the beginning of a relationship, and not all bookkeepers want to take on the liability of making payments. Comma is the product to solve those issues. The client still has full access, control, and final sign off on the payments, but in a much easier way."


We have also reviewed the following software which has also gained ICB accreditation too:
