Over the last five years, Silverfin’s Fast Forward attendees tell us it has become a ‘must-attend’ event, bringing accountants, auditors and tax consultants together to learn more about how to take advantage of connected accounting. We broadcast the event worldwide online in English, French and Dutch from the Fast Forward Studio. Register today and don’t miss the event.
We have a great line-up of experts on accounting, technology and business transformation joining us for Fast Forward Studio.
Joris started his professional life as an accountant but he was frustrated with how he had to work and the tools he had to use. Plus he saw that more and more clients needed advice but the accountant’s main focus was on number crunching. So when he met Tim Vandecasteele, a technologist, he realised there was a way to change the profession. Together they founded Silverfin. The company is now the leading cloud platform for accountants. It connects with leading bookkeeping and financial systems to bring all the data an accountant needs together, automates common work and gives them the tools they need to be effective and trusted advisors to their clients.
