Accountex 2022 - Highlights from the event

Accountex 2022 - Highlights from the event

Last week, Europe’s number one accountancy and finance conference, Accountex, took place in London. With over 8000 accountants and finance professionals attending, it’s safe to say that the event was a huge success.

Over 250 global brands, including Chaser, exhibited at the event, and Accountex hosted 180 talks and seminars which were designed to arm the attendees with all the knowledge and inspiration needed to succeed in the fast-changing world of accounting and finance.

We are already looking forward to Accountex 2023, but in the meantime, here are some highlights from the this year’s event: 


How to improve your cash flow by £250,000 panel

Chaser hosted a panel at the Growth Practice Theatre, where five forward-thinking accountants shared case studies on how they had achieved outstanding cash flow results for their clients and their own business - through the use of cloud technology and digital transformation.

The 'game show'-style panel did not disappoint, with panellists reaching an impressive £855,000 in cash flow improvements for their clients. 

A huge thank you to Katherine O'Carroll, Keir Wright-Whyte, Frances Kay, Graeme Tennick, and Chloe Scott.

Debtor Daze pale ale


If you’ve met us on previous trade shows or events in the last couple of years you will recognise our Debtor Daze pale ale. The accounting-themed pale ale is supplied by London craft brewery (and Chaser users!) Anspach & Hobday, and have become a key part of Chaser’s merchandise.

CEO Sonia Dorais participated in two seminars


Chaser’s very own CEO, Sonia Dorais, was asked to participate and be a panellist in two seminars during the two-day event. With nearly 20 years of experience working in fast-growing businesses, Sonia has led the growth of numerous fintechs in both Canada and the UK that specialised in the digitisation and automation of finance and accounting tasks and functions. She was asked to join the two panels, both taking place on Thursday 12th of May, to share her knowledge, expertise and experience.

1st seminar: Supercharge your outsource finance function

For many leading firms, significant growth is coming from full outsourced finance function services delivered for clients. The technology available and changes to working patterns means the opportunity will continue to grow. In this seminar, Frances Kay discussed how Farnell Clarke has seen fee levels soar given the additional value being delivered to clients. Alongside speakers from Xero, Dext, ApprovalMax and Telleroo, Sonia represented Chaser as one of the key apps in Farnell Clarke’s App Stack that enables them to run a fully outsourced service for clients.

2nd seminar: Xero App Marketplace

Chaser is one of the leading Apps in the Xero Marketplace and Sonia was asked to join XU Magazine’s panel discussion alongside AutoEntry, Castaway Forecasting, Xero and Reducer. The seminar explored how to practically implement various apps as part of the service, but also how the human behind the technology is so important. Technology to help you increase your advisory and other services is 10% of the progression, the other 90% is human. The host David Hassall took the attendees through a practical look at how to imbed technology into their practice but also to get the human buy-in from themselves and their team.
