About Us
AccountantsIQ provides a platform for accountants and other financial professionals to distribute value-added niche service offerings for the benefit of their clients. They are the conduit of new and innovative business advisory solutions by delivering tools and resources to facilitate high quality advice.
Commencing in the licensed financial advice space, AccountantsIQ now offers a solution for all accountants and financial professionals in the fast-growing area of aged care. The first port of call for many who need information, help and advice for their ageing loved one is their accountant or financial professional.
Our offerings are innovative, practical and flexible so clients can choose between a self-service option or fully outsource to a silver service model conducted on a one-on-one basis. Whatever the choice, both enable accountants and other financial professionals to help clients who have loved ones requiring assistance – from a little help to remain at home, right through to full-time residential aged care.
Our History
With a background in education, chartered accountancy and licensed financial advice, AccountantsIQ was established in 2014 by Bronny Speed, a well-known and respected industry practitioner, who recognised the need for accountants to be supported under the then ‘new’ licensing regime.
Over the years, AccountantsIQ has adapted and adjusted offerings to meet a fast-changing market and regulatory environment, including the need to help industry colleagues remain in practice via the highly successful Cram4Exam courses.
Our new aged care initiative, AgedCareIQ, provides a range of solutions for those who need assistance in this fast-growing area, that is difficult to navigate, time-consuming and emotionally stressful.
