YOUR CLOUD CHAMPIONS
Suda looks after our dedicated team of cloud specialists in-house who are just waiting for you to pick their brains.
Suda joined Raffingers in August 1999 and became a Partner in 2008.
Prior to working with Raffingers, Suda trained with a large firm in the City of London. Suda manages a busy portfolio of clients, including owner managed businesses and UK subsidiaries providing audit, accountancy and business advisory services.
Suda has a hands-on approach to all his business start-ups, guiding them through their tricky growth phases. He also helps in not just giving accounting and taxation advice, which is essential, but also provides advice on setting up systems and sourcing finance, if required.
Claire started at Raffingers as a Cloud Manager in April 2019. She graduated from university with a first degree in Accountancy and Finance and now helps Recruitment business owners implement technology into their businesses in order to help them stay on top of their numbers and streamline their processes.
Danielle is our Cloud Manager, and is currently studying AAT Level 4. Danielle started her career at a larger practice and was there for 5 years where her role involved everything from VAT Returns, Tax Returns, Y/E Accounts to Service Charge Accounts. Danielle now specialises in helping to transform property businesses through the power of Xero, and will help ensure that your property business is up to date with third-party apps designed for property businesses.
OLD HABITS DIE HARD
However times are changing and businesses need to change with them.
In the last few years, there have been rapid advances in cloud services, artificial intelligence, data management, IT services, and more that can make an impact on your business. There are now so many business solutions available that it can be overwhelming and difficult to decide on the ‘right’ solution for your needs. You want to make choices that let you focus on your core business, not on the technology that helps operate it. Through taking a new approach to financial management, you can spend more time on doing what you do best.
Our Cloud Accounting Service also ensures you are fully compliant with Making Tax Digital (MTD). MTD is an HMRC initiative that will mean you will need to keep digital financial records and submit these to HMRC. MTD is a key part of the government’s plans to make it easier for individuals and businesses to get their tax right and keep on top of their affairs.
