A CUMBRIAN firm has taken part in a global innovation event.

The exclusive worldwide event focused on innovation in the accounting software sector, as well as delivery of client service.

It was attended by 200 professionals from different industries and sectors across the globe, with a varied itinerary, including live broadcasts and keynote sessions.

Tracey leads on robinson+co's cloud accounting and software team, which is accredited to advise and provide support a wide range of accountancy software packages, and the firm is also a fully accredited accounting business partner of Sage Software.

Speaking after the event, Tracey said: “I was delighted to be asked to attend this innovation event which really focused on how we can develop opportunities for clients, assist in problem solving and really work with clients on making a difference with how they operate their business.

"It also gave me the opportunity to speak to other industry professionals and exchange ideas not only in the UK, but as far wide as Europe and the USA.”
