Practice Management Software for Accountants
IRIS’s market-leading practice management software will improve your efficiency and enable you to make better business decisions. Streamline and automate time-consuming admin duties, track jobs and workflow, and store and maintain all your valuable data in one place.
Software to keep your practice running smoothly
With every accounting practice, whatever the size, comes a lot of back-office processes, repetitive (often manual) tasks, spreadsheets and data. A lot of data – all in different places.
The right practice management software can take all of that off your plate. It can streamline and automate those time-consuming admin duties, track jobs and workflow, and store and maintain all that valuable data in one place seamlessly. And, not only will it dramatically increase your practice’s efficiency and productivity, it will make your life easier and free up time that can be spent on nurturing client relationships.
Think of practice management software as the hub of your practice. You get an integrated view of – and insight on – all client data, relationships and activities, from where you can plan, manage, track or report on jobs, clients, staff and communications.
Which practice management software should I choose?
All accounting firms are different. Some want to start small with straightforward software that takes care of the basics, with the option to build on functionality as their business and digital journey grows. Some want a fully integrated all-in-one solution that contains everything needed to service clients and maintain efficient processes. Others want a completely custom software solution, with functionality tailored to their firm’s individual needs.
Whichever your preference, the right choice will save you time and money while your practice will benefit from improved processes, accuracy and compliance, and be better equipped, leaner and ready for what’s around the corner in technology and the accounting profession.

“Of all the software we considered, we were happiest with Star. It was also apparent that compared to other vendors, Star’s people knew the most about the accounting profession.”
“Another aspect of the Star solution we liked is that it includes good functionality for areas like CRM and Job Budgeting. Having one application – and one database, that manages all of this is a great step forward – a real efficiency gain.”
“One of the main things that I really like about IRIS Practice Engine is their ability to adapt to our ever-changing industry. IRIS Practice Engine tends to be forward looking as far as improving processes, upcoming trends, and how they can implement changes within the program itself.”
