Accountants
Bookkeepers play a key role in getting information to accountants. ICB's aim is to improve that relationship, the communication and the effectiveness of the communication interchange. We provide guidance notes on interactions between accountants and bookkeepers.

Businesses
We help businesses have a more effective accounting and business process. ICB bookkeepers are about doing what they do well and letting you know before they are out of their depth. Our aim is for businesses to do their books effectively and correctly, using bookkeeping expertise and working with the businesses other advisors.
