The UK is one of its most important markets and has experienced rapid growth as accounting moves online.

Nick Williams, Head of Business Development at Intuit UK commented, “It’s very exciting that TaxAssist Accountants has selected QuickBooks as the software of choice. By opening up QuickBooks to the TaxAssist Accountants’ large network of firms, we’re helping them save time and offer a superior service, which also lets their clients focus on doing what they do best – running their businesses.”
