Why the change?
The existing Surf Accounts app has undoubtedly been a valuable tool for our customers, but we recognised that it was time for some enhancements. As technology evolves, it’s important we leverage the latest innovations. With this in mind, we chose to build an entirely new bookkeeping app using improved and up-to-date technology.
This new app marks a significant leap forward, offering an interface that’s not only more intuitive but also more attuned to the demands of modern businesses. It’s important to note that we’re not requesting an upgrade to your existing app; instead, we kindly invite you to download our new app.
