Hello
Accountants Count On Us - these four words are not
only the strapline of our company, they define our place in
the market today and reinforce the fact that we believe in
making great software that works for accountants.
We genuinely believe that we’ve built the best value,
integrated practice software on the market today. As well
as producing iXBRL ready accounts and tax returns, our
software enables you to submit your abbreviated accounts
directly to Companies House.
The last 12 months have been busy for us here at Keytime,
we recently acquired the cloud-based bookkeeping system
Arithmo and 2014 sees the launch of our new Company
Secretarial module. You can read more about Company
Secretarial and Arithmo on pages 6, 7, 16 and 17.
Our promise to you is to provide quality service, honest
pricing and accept all feedback as an opportunity to improve
our service. We like to speak to our customers plainly and
honestly about what our software can and can’t do, and we
clearly spell-out the process of migrating to us.
Ultimately, we want to make your practice better. Why not
take a look at what we have to offer and try any of the
products online for free at www.keytime.co.uk. Or, call us on

Plus
Client Manager is the central nervous system of our
software; passing data between the various packages and
keeping the brain of the operation (that’s you) informed
about everything that is going on.
We include Client Manager for free with all of our software,
and take it further with Client Manager Plus, which gives you
features to organise, measure and bill the work you do.
With Client Manager Plus, you get comprehensive deadline
tracking, time & fees, reporting and communication tools to
make it easier to run your practice and delight your clients,
without it becoming a second job.
We don’t make that claim;

This year we are excited to announce the launch of our new Company
Secretarial module which enables you to complete your Company
Secretarial duties in a quick and efficient manner.
The program, which integrates with Accounts Production and Client
Manager, enables you to download company records directly from
Companies House so you can create them in Company Secretarial.
The program will also synchronise existing company records with the
data held at Companies House.
Filing deadlines are imported directly from Companies House and
rolled forward automatically. This enables you to avoid those late filing
penalties.

Accounts Production is designed to do three things well:
• To take you from trial balance to final accounts quickly
• To make iXBRL compliance automatic
• Submit directly to Companies House
When those three things happen, you can reduce the
amount of time you spend wrangling the data, allowing you
to apply your expertise sooner and more profitably.
We have received lots of feedback about the journal screen
in Accounts Production and have improved this for 2014 to
make your life easier.
We believe Accounts Production is the perfect choice for
straightforward final accounts for small limited companies

We’ve been building software for over 20 years,
working with accountants to solve their problems.
Over 1650 accountancy practices trust us to
deliver great software at a fair price, and we take
that trust seriously.
Our software has been shortlisted for the last five
years in the Software Satisfaction Awards, the
only awards which are voted for by the users of
the software.
Here’s what some of our customers have to say
about us:
“I cannot fault the technical staff and the whole team. They held
my hands during the initial stages and I am now enjoying the software. Most importantly, they know the software doesn’t tick all
boxes and they are listening to ideas and willing to make changes.”
Femi Alakija - Orchard Accountants
“I’ve been with them since 2008. Good pricing structure, excellent support, (very) approachable team and still willing to listen
and update.
A software house that really does what it says on the can!
If it was the X-Factor, I’d be giving four yeses.”
Chris mann
quotes
“Top class service that was delivered with patience and good humour.
Something other software providers would do well to copy.”

“Very helpful and informative. Better than HMRC helpline!”
julie cooper -j humphry associates
“I really must compliment you on the training given to the support staff. I
have never come across staff who are so well versed in the operations
of the programs.”
David Lonsdale- john a edgar & Co
“We think you and your team are FANTASTIC. The support and assistance you have given us this week and last has been outstanding and we
don’t know what we would have done without you. Thank you so very
much for all your hard work.”
Anna- Vatax london ltd
