We believe accounting firms should be free from the cost and complexity of traditional IT.

The accounting industry has led the way as early adopters of cloud with Xero and other vendors delivering a new way of thinking. While the benefits are already measurable, this has outpaced traditional IT management and Australian accountants are left in the middle of conflicting strategies - ‘foot in both camps' yet to realise the full benefits that cloud accounting delivers.

Our purpose is to give accountants a straight-line, cloudward strategy and unlock the true productivity and efficiency benefits that cloud accounting promised.

How we add value

When an accounting team reaches 5+ employees, productivity and efficiency often starts to dip as billable staff are interrupted by IT issues, impacting their ability to work. This is when most firms choose to outsource their IT requirements, to remove the interruptions and frustrations slowing them down. For Freshmethod, that means delivering on these three core elements.

technical expertise

The technical expertise to make sure everything working, fast and secure. Under this technical umbrella includes desktops, networking and internet connections, servers (if applicable) and security.

We are set up to provide the best user experience if something should go wrong - from a broken monitor to a major server down requiring disaster recovery.
