In this post, we'll provide a rundown of recent changes and how they will benefit you, along with an update on Finnies' activities.
New app features
As many of you already know, the Finnies TaxApp gives you
useful tax rates, dates calculators and tips at your fingertips. It’s available
on the Apple AppStore and Google Play Store and is a great way to gain
information quickly, when you need it. Building on the usefulness of the app, you can now access your IRIS Openspace and Xero accounts through their respective icons at the bottom of the app homepage. This means you can access your IRIS documents and view your accounts information through Xero wherever you are!
The changes are currently active on Android devices and are being reviewed by the AppStore. Apple owners should see the changes within the next 14 days.
New website
At the time of writing, the new Finnies website is in its
final stages of checking! Our current website will be taken down and replaced
with a fresh and modern website that will be simpler to use for current clients
and make it easier for those wanting to get in touch for the first time. You’ll
be able to access your IRIS OpenSpace through the new-look Finnies homepage,
meaning you can access useful information, calculators, the latest news and
OpenSpace conveniently all in one place. The new site also features a new ‘Services
for Academies’ section with information on how schools and academies can
benefit from our services.
We developed the site to include more useful features for
clients, be easier to navigate and fit with the modern and forward thinking
approach of Finnies.
Sponsorships
Continuing our support of the local area, Finnies will
continue to sponsor the Beverley Whitestar Panther U9s, who recently won the
Driffield Cup! We are also pleased to say that Finnies has become an official
sponsor of local football club Wilberfoss FC.
Finniebahçe
If you follow us on Twitter or Facebook
you’ll know that Finnies entered a team (Finniebahçe) into the Echoes
Foundation Charity 5-a-side tournament on the 6th of June. It was a
brilliant day of fun, sunshine and football, all raising money for a great
charity. The day was made even better as Finniebahçe progressed through a very
tough group stage and eventually to the final! Unfortunately this was the end
of the road for the team after a painful defeat meant we finished 2nd
overall. Although disappointing, 2nd place is a respectable position, especially considering this was Finniebahçe’s first tournament! Our thanks go out to the organisers, the hosts at Soccer Sensations and to our non-Finnies team members Joe and Patrick adding plenty of goals and crucial saves throughout the tournament!
We’re looking forward to the next
tournament and hopefully going one step further! We’d love to see some teams
from clients or businesses in the area so we’ll keep you up to date with
information on the next tournament.
Footgolf
The first team outing of the year saw the Finnies team take
to the Footgolf course! The team was split into 3 groups of 4 with trophies
going to the winners of each. The course at OneStopGolf in Hull is a favourite
for certain team members and proved popular with everyone! Reigning Footgolf
champion Anthony missed out on victory by a single shot after crumbling on
holes 8 and 9! At the end of the round, winners’ trophies went to Jack,
Catherine and Gayle!
Humber Bridge Sportive
On June 14th team members Anthony and Jack took
part in the 61 mile Humber Bridge Sportive finishing in 4:43:40 and 5:08:03
respectively. Conditions were less than ideal with cloud, rain and wind all
featuring for long periods of the ride. Despite the weather, the event was a
great success raising around £5000 for the Echoes Foundation. A massive thank
you to every volunteer that helped throughout the day and especially to the volunteers
at the 2nd food stop in Ulceby! Tuna wraps, flapjacks, jelly babies,
bananas and energy drinks gave us a much needed energy boost!
Moving Forward
Over the coming months, as clients you’ll see Finnies continue
to improve your experience. We’re currently working on an exciting new project
that will bring further benefits to individuals and businesses that decide to
work with us. We’ll continue to get involved with the community and sporting activities throughout the summer and beyond. There are rumours of another 5-aside tournament for The Echoes Foundation in September, which we’re very keen to be involved in! We’d also love to see teams from you! Clients, local businesses, families, friends; consider the gauntlet officially thrown down!
Our focus is to continually bring the highest possible value
to our clients. We have developed our app and radically changed our website to
provide a greater service. If you have any feedback on how we can perform
better or if there is something you would like to see from Finnies, please do
get in touch.
