Small-business accounting software provider FreshBooks has launched its Accounting Professionals Program, aimed at strengthening the relationship between accountants and the software vendor's small-business customers.
The program is headed by Twyla Verhelst (pictured), a CPA who joined the Toronto-based company two months ago.
"As an accountant, I have experience in the accounting industry, with the modern accountants, how the role of the accountant has changed," said Verhelst, whose background also includes co-founding a cash-flow app in 2018. "The program was designed to create a relationship between business owners and accountants using the software to provide more insight and value in the numbers, of how business owners are doing."
