New mobile website for business owners and FD’s

A new mobile website has been launched by Haines Watts, a top 20 firm of Chartered Accountants, for business owners, FDs and financial controllers, giving instant and continuous access to the latest accountancy, tax and business information on their smartphones.

“With over 40% of all phones in the UK being smartphones and estimates that by 2013 more people will use mobile to get online rather than a PC, we know that smartphones are essential in a day to day life” said Andy Minifie, National Managing Partner of Haines Watts.

“We know that for business owners time is money – and our mobile website makes it faster and more efficient to access important information.  We want to continually make life easier for our business clients. Last year we launched our iPhone and Android tax rates apps before all our Top 20 competitors, this year we launch our UK mobile website before the other Top 20 firms of accountants.”

Andy adds, “The mobile website is a simplified version of our main desktop site, with uncomplicated navigation for smartphone screens.  The site contains up to date business news and views on our blog and useful information such as key tax dates, tax rates and tax tips.”

We have made it easier for people to find and contact their local Haines Watts offices by utilising mobile location services and Google maps.

Samantha Davies, Marketing Manager of Haines Watts, said: “With our partners, being business owners themselves, we know how much they rely on their phones to access information - we know that other business owners would be doing the same.  This is just another step in the process of driving efficient and more convenient accountancy and business services.”

“No other Top 20 UK accountancy firm has a mobile site.  At Haines Watts we make sure we give business owners what they want, when they want it – smartphone technology is the ideal way to do this.”
