Technology for Accountants in Practice | Top Accountants

The Top Accountants site is written by Adrian Pearson.

Although I am a chartered accountant by profession, my main interest is in software and technology – which should be evident from reading the blog postings.

In 1995 I resigned as one of four partners in an independent accountancy firm to set-up my own firm, Pearson & Associates based in Skipton, North Yorkshire.

At various times I have also been part-time finance director of 2 other businesses – Taskmaster, a staff agency, and Merit Software, a payroll and invoicing software developer.

I founded, and now manage, the Xero Users Online Community, which is a resource for users of the worlds easiest accounting software, and since 2000 I have been providing ready made website solutions to fellow accountants via my Accountants Websites business.

Happily married to Julie, I am 45 and live in West Yorkshire with a 13 year old son and 8 month old golden retriever. We have 4 other adult boys who float in and out as their social life permits. [Ages all as of December 2009]
