IRIS Software Group Accelerates Cloud-based Practice Management With Acquisition of Senta

IRIS Software Group (IRIS), one of the UK’s largest software companies, is announcing it has acquired Senta, the cloud-based practice management software for accountants and bookkeepers.

The move comes as accountancy professionals prepare their small business clients for the forthcoming Making Tax Digital (MTD) reporting in April 2023. As the UK’s leading provider of accountancy solutions, IRIS’ unrivalled expertise in powerful product integration ensures firms are gaining efficiencies in every area of managing their practices – giving them the time and energy to provide the best advice to Britain’s businesses.

Businesses across the globe are using cloud applications to simplify mission critical business tasks, as they are now vital to driving growth, innovation, and cost savings. IRIS firmly believes the ability to deeply integrate and manage cloud applications, such as practice management, can make a substantial difference as organisations – a move which is now even more critical as the UK grapples with its third lockdown.

Kevin Dady, Executive Chairman of IRIS Software Group says, “IRIS Elements was conceived as customers told us they needed to simply and instantly access the relevant business tools to transform their firms. Senta joining the IRIS family allows us to revolutionise the cloud practice management market, delivering the functionality they require today, regardless of location.”
