Case Study: David Scott & Co (Chartered Accountancy practice) achieves restored efficiency and significant time savings with IRIS Software Group

The power of integration draws David Scott & Co back to the IRIS Accountancy Suite

David Scott & Co, a chartered accountancy practice in Newton Aycliffe led by sole practitioner David Scott, specialises in tax planning and tax credits and recouped around £250,000 for clients in the past 18 months. A long-time user of the IRIS Accountancy Suite from IRIS Software Group (including Accounts Production, Business Tax and Personal Tax), the firm briefly moved to a lower‑cost rival in early 2011 but found accounts information did not migrate, forcing individual company setups and extensive manual entry for forms like the CT41G across a client base of 80–100.

David returned to the IRIS Accountancy Suite from IRIS Software Group, which leverages a single, centralised database to pre-populate client and company data and minimise re-keying. The switch restored workflow efficiency—avoiding roughly 80–100 hours of manual setup (over 45 minutes per company on the rival system), freeing time for fee-earning work, reducing stress and allowing the practice to focus on revenue-generating services.
