Deloitte Australia is to launch an online accounting service to its clients through its digital division as an own branded service. The service will be based on the AccountsIQ software that includes instruments such as benchmarking tools, online education and collaboration products, compliance and HR solutions. Peter Williams, chief executive of Deliotte Digital, said: 'We see this as a fundamental change in the way accountants work and in the type of the work they can do. It changes the nature of the client-accountant relationship from a once a year contact to an ongoing conversation; from accountant to business adviser.' AccountsIQ said the new software is 'transforming' for the relationships that accountants have with their clients and it will help pave the way for a more 'green' environment.
