What a FAB time!

What a FAB time!

The Festival of Bookkeeping and Accounting (FAB) has quickly grown to become one of the biggest events in the accountancy calendar.

Our Partners, Barry Barlow and Gavin Butterworth, have been going to this event for the last few years to get the lowdown on the latest technology and to speak with others in the profession.

However, this year team Butterworth Barlow went in force, as Barry, Gavin, Natalie, Amy H and Amy M travelled to the NEC in Birmingham.

During the event, they attended some great talks and saw lots of interesting new software being demoed.
