Since its formation in 1991, Access Accounting has been dedicated to the supply of high quality business solutions. It was one of the first UK software vendors to recognise the huge potential of the Windows operating system and to harness Microsoft applications for the benefit of its clients.
Over the last 15 years, users of Access solutions have enjoyed a significant commercial advantage. Access has worked hard to maintain this competitive edge, by investing in a highly skilled workforce and a continuous programme of R&D. The outcome is a range of British-built software, designed to bring speed and simplicity to business processes.
Today, over 10,000 companies around the world rely on its solutions to help them achieve business success.
Business restructure
In the last two years, Access Accounting has acquired three companies, providing additional specialist knowledge in manufacturing and supply chain management and the not-for-profit sector. As a result, Access Technology Group was set up under which Access Accounting now sits, alongside Access Accounting Ireland Ltd, Access Supply Chain Ltd and Asyst Solutions Ltd.
