Question asked by Richard Newstead 10 years ago
There is a useful list here: https://www.clearbooks.co.uk/directory
But some of the firms/names have a tick against them and I cannot see what that means. Are they the ones that make the best coffee - or is there some other significance to the tick?
Thanks
Richard
Well said Paul.
I almost included a line about that in my email to you earlier but didn't want to cause a fuss. I also realised i'd end up even further down the list than I currently am based on the league table format!
On a slightly different note, this place needs a signature section like all other forums so I can link to my site or at least to my CB Directory listing. Even clicking on ones name tells the user nothing. I enjoy helping the Community first and foremost but it would of course be nice to pick up the occasional referral for the effort.
Best answerThoughts as a Partner.
A directory should be just that, a directory.
If, as in this case, you publish a directory with bias, then the bias should be published alongside it. As a small practitioner who prides himself in knowing the system well it is unfair to be placed two thirds of the way down the list just because other firms have more CB clients than I do, regardless of their abilities, better or worse than me.
Therefore, to remove any bias, the default should be alphabetical.
To illustrate, how about if Partners had to compile a directory of all the accounting software providers to inform other partners and users, and compiled it with user base as the list criteria?
Say no more.
I'd still beat you with 123 !
PS is there any sense to the ordering of that list? Bigger names seem to be fairly early on. Should be on a fair rotation i'd have thought.
Hey Mohamed, where is this functionality to find an accountant? Can we have the list back please, I think most people would prefer that.
Hi Gareth,
The Clear Books dashboard provides a facility where you can say you’re looking for an accountant. This will send a notification to our account management specialist who will be able to place you with a trusted Clear Books accountant local to you.
All the best,
Mohamed.
So no way of finding a local accountant who uses your software and is familiar with it?
Hi Gareth,
I am afraid we no longer maintain an accountant directory. My apologies.
All the best,
Mohamed.
I'm on it and even I haven't got a clue these days if truth be told! ;-)
Where is the latest list of Clearbooks software using accountants?
The directory should have the option to be in the form of a map. This would make it easier for potential clients to consider firms in their area.
Hi Kevin,
I have consulted this with my colleague, who will be in contact with you with regards to an update on the certified trainer programme.

Just to deviate slightly; any news on when the certified trainer programme will be up and running again? I'd certainly like my special little tick at some point ;-)
Hello,
The current list is based on the number of clients each partner has. Kevin is slowly getting to the top spot though.
I think the certified training still needs to be checked with our internal team responsible for it. Maybe the list itself will be changed partially.

Best change my name to AAA Platform Accounting then ;-)
Hi Kevin - that gets my vote. Whilst you can sort them by clicking on the headers the default should really be in alpha order
Kevin - can you PM me at richard@sotabeams.co.uk please?
Regards Richard
Just to add to that, the certified partner training scheme is undergoing a revamp at the mo hence why the likes of me don't have a nice tick next to them - it's not for want of trying.
I make a smashing coffee though...
Hi Richard,
I can't comment on their coffee making skills :) however the tick means they are a Clear Books certified training partner
