Sometimes Being An Accountant Can Be Extraordinarily Tough
The truth is there has never been a time of such upheaval for accountants. First, we had Companies Act 2014, then there was the introduction of FRS 102, and The Companies (Accounting) Act 2017 introduced S.1A of FRS 102 and FRS 105. Hot on the heels of these we were landed with the IAASA - International Standards on Auditing (Ireland) including the new Ethical Standard for Auditors (Ireland) 2017. 

In the meantime, the Fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive including the Beneficial Owners Register was introduced, and of course, GDPR. That isn't even to talk about the ongoing changes in Tax.

All Your Technical Headaches Solved
Freeing You To Create An Outstanding Business For You And Your Clients

KnowledgeHUB could be the most significant support tool we have offered to Irish Accountants to date. Yes, the guidance, tools, templates and support material in our other information products are massively valuable and will continue supporting you and the accounting community long into the future, but sometimes you just need an answer to a problem. 

Developing your understanding is essential but what if you just want the answer handed to you on a plate? Well, that is exactly what KnowledgeHUB does. However, what KnowledgeHUB provides you with is far more important than just instant answers. You will have Peace of Mind.
Peace Of Mind...
  •  ...that you are correct in the advice you provide your clients 
  •  ...that you no longer need to worry that the advice you give today to will come back to plague you in the future  
  •   ...that you no longer need to worry about what the next phone call or email will land in your lap 
  •  ...that no matter what crosses your desk you have someone to turn to 
  •  ...that no matter how complex an issue is, you have the resources to find a practical solution quickly 
  •  ...that you can meet and exceed your clients' query response expectations  
  •    ...that you no longer need to sweat the small stuff and can start focusing on where you can add the most value – helping your clients build profitable and successful businesses 
  •  ...that your solution focused pro-active approach will ensure your best clients become your biggest fans and referrers 
  •  ...that you are the firm that others in your region are looking to compete with 
  •  ...that you know the major issues impacting Irish firms and businesses and can identify solutions before they even become an issue for you or your client 
But what does "Peace of Mind" really mean?
  •  What if all of this added peace of mind at work meant that life away from work was what you always imagined it could be?
  •  What if you finally had time and peace of mind to be fully present when you are with your kids, spouse and family?
  •  What if you were admired and respected as an accountant but adored as a parent, spouse and family member?
  •  What if you came home full of energy and refreshed after a day's work?
The KnowledgeHUB Priority “SOS” Guarantee
When you need us most, we will be here for you. KnowledgeHUB members will receive priority responses from our technical team of industry experts. Whether you have an emergency or are dealing with really impatient clients, we will make sure that we respond to you as soon as physically possible. 

Sometimes a simple yes or no will suffice. Other times we will need to dig deeper, get a fuller understanding of the issue and consider all the possible angles. Some solutions may take longer than others to arrive at but we guarantee a priority response, laying out our plan to find your solution.
  •  What if knowing we are always "on call" for you meant you could fully switch off when you are out of the office?
Competitive Advantage
There are times every accountant wishes they had a technical expert sitting at the desk right next to them. It might be for a query that’s going to require research when what you really need is a quick answer. Or you may have done the work and come up with a solution. You’re 99.9% sure you’ve covered all the angles, but there’s that 0.1% nagging doubt you may have missed something.
Consider us your outsourced ‘big 4’ style technical department, without the associated costs. We’ll provide quick answers when you need them and the support to take on more complex assignments.

Backed by KnowledgeHUB your firm will have a substantial competitive advantage over your rivals, and you will be able to grow your firms top and bottom lines by:
  • Retaining your best clients through the proactive identification of innovative approaches and structures based on the knowledge shared by the KnowledgeHUB team
  •  Providing valuable extension services, safe in the knowledge that you are backed by a team of industry experts 
  •  Attracting higher value clients through word of mouth and referrals based on the value you add to your clients and the range of services you can effectively and efficiently offer 
  •  What if because of your competitive advantage, you were able to take more holidays, spending time with family and friends?
Spend Your Time Where You Can Add The Most Value
Let’s face it, the majority of issues that arise on a day-to-day basis you can easily take in your stride. Unfortunately, there are a small minority of issues that really drain you and your team's time and energy. 

This is where someone (very often you), needs to pull out the legislation or consult the standard and end up going around the houses to find a solution. To add to your woes, very often you are not even 100% confident that the solution you arrived at is fully correct or will arrive at the best possible outcome.
Why not let us take care of all those nasty, technical, behind-the-scene issues, allowing you to focus your attention on client-facing activities - which is where you can add the most value: Helping your clients grow and develop profitable and successful businesses. 
  •  What if you leave the office every day on a high because you see the positive impact you have helping your clients grow their businesses?
A Centralised Technical Resource For Your Team 
KnowledgeHUB can become your firm's centralised technical resource, meaning that everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet when it comes to technical issues.
How often does it happen where a member of the team invests otherwise chargeable time in researching an issue, only for a different team member to undertake the same research for a different client months later?

With KnowledgeHUB, not only will your entire team have access to our technical solutions knowledge base, but with our innovative support platform, the entire team will be able to see the questions asked by your firm and track the solutions offered by our technical team.
Now as well as saving you time on finding the most beneficial solution to your original query, with KnowledgeHUB you can ensure that your firm will never have to spend time thinking about that issue ever again.
Further to this, based on the solutions provided by our technical helpdesk, you can start to build best-practice responses to your clients' most common queries.
The OmniPro Difference – Whole Firm Advisory
Our multi-disciplinary team is unique. There is no one who can provide the breadth and depth of support that OmniPro can. Sure, there are plenty of people who can provide Tax or Company Secretarial advice. But can they provide advice on Audit, Financial Reporting, Tax, Company Law, Corporate Finance, Insolvency or Regulation?
Well, that is the OmniPro Difference. In practice, nothing exists in a vacuum. All the disciplines overlap and interact. We specialise in providing you with expert guidance, not just in the core topic, but in the possible implications in areas that may not have been considered. 

As a member of KnowledgeHUB, you will experience this first hand, both in the responses to your technical queries and also when you are searching the knowledgebase for solutions to your issues. 
Our core belief is simply this:
Accountants can and do change lives
And we get up every morning to bring you the tools, advice and training so that you can create an outstanding business for yourself and for your clients too.
In this way, we change lives and communities.
And we’d love to do that together with you.

How KnowledgeHUB Supports the entire OmniPro Information Product Range
KnolwedgeHUB sits perfectly alongside the entire OmniPro Information Product range including:
  •  The Accountants Resource Centre
  •  CompaninesAct2014.com 
  • FRS102.com 
  • GDPRforAccountants.com 
Our information products give you the tools, templates and information that you need, to implement best practice in your firm, whether on Company Law, Financial Reporting and GDPR, or technically compliant files with ARC.
But what happens when you run into difficulty? What happens when you have a particularly specific issue that needs resolution? Something that is out of the ordinary? That is not covered by your established processes and systems? What if you come across something that is unique or highly specialised? 
That is where KnowledgeHUB comes into play. First off, you get to search the knowledgebase discovering practical examples of where this has arisen before, and get to track the solutions that we have advised in previous cases. Still not sure of the most appropriate course of action? Well then you can call, email or chat with our technical team and have them analyse your specific situation and provide a tailored solution to your issue.
 
Here Is What You Get As A Founding Member Of KnowledgeHUB
  •  Priority Support Access to Industry Leading Experts
A KnowledgeHUB subscription gives you three hours priority response access to our internal team of experts. Imagine what it would feel like to have John, Garret, Neil, Anne, Sinead, Des and Ivonne on your team, available for quick “sanity check” questions, detailed responses or getting to the root of a client issue before coming up with the best solution for them. And all without having to carry the full-time cost? 
Your priority response support access time can be used at any stage during the year with a number of different communication channel options available, including phone, chat and email.

Once your initial allocation of priority support hours has been added to your account, you can begin to log queries with our technical help desk. Additional users can be added for a nominal monthly fee, providing them with full access to the knowledge base as well as being able to share in your firm’s priority support hours if nominated. One of the big benefits of KnolwedgeHUB’s new support and knowledge sharing platform, is the ability for your entire team to be able to see each other’s queries and responses which will reduce the burden on internal training and in-house knowledge sharing.
Now three hours may not seem like a very long time but here are two big benefits of joining KnowledgeHUB:
  •  There is a very high likelihood that we have answered a query similar to yours in the very recent past. If that is the case, we will be either able to direct you to the answer in the knowledge base or be able to draft a response quickly
  •  Our technical team are highly familiar with all the various acts, legislation and case law. If we do have to research an issue, we are going to arrive at a solution far more expeditiously than the average accountant
  • Access To The KnowledgeHUB Knowledgebase
KnowledgeHUB has been built around a fully searchable repository for technical queries and responses. These queries and responses are continuously growing and developing based on the queries that the technical team are receiving. With hundreds of queries crossing our technical help-desk on a monthly basis, we can quickly identify the emerging trends and issues.
Based on the most common or problematic queries, we will create generic detailed responses which will be posted to the knowledge base. These responses will either be text or video based. 

For every video posted in KnowledgeHUB, we will supply a transcript, which will be fully searchable.  This means that you won’t have to trawl through hours of content to find your answer. We will, however, provide timestamps with the text associated to a video, which will allow you to jump to a specific point and play from there.
We have over 250 queries and responses posted in KnowledgeHUB at the moment, with a development plan to add at least four queries a week, every week, into the future.
The KnowledgeHUB Platform
  •  AI Smart Search Technology
We have invested heavily in the development of a custom knowledge sharing platform to ensure that you can quickly and easily find the information you want. Our platform uses the very latest AI smart-search technology which quickly learns what pieces of content relate most highly to specific search terms.

In addition to the AI smart search you have the ability to up-vote and down-vote content based on the relevance to your search items. This means that you can shape the knowledge base. 
  • Priority Support Tracking and Management
The communication platform underpinning KnowledgeHUB utilises the very latest support management and tracking technology. Once a query is lodged from within the members’ area, you will be able to see the status of the query, who is dealing with it, if there is any outstanding information required from you and also how much time has been used in finding the solution to your query.

You will also be able to see a running balance of your priority support hours, and our platform will notify you when your balance is running low. This means you are always in control of your firms' allocated priority support hours.
In addition to all this, your entire team has full visibility of all questions asked by the team and to the responses provided by the technical team.
Why Are We Offering A Founding Members Offer?
The KnowledgeHUB platform has been built, and pre-stocked with hundreds of queries. Your priority response channels are in place, and our technical team is standing by to answer your queries.

And, to us, KnowledgeHUB is as much a community as it is a technical resource and we want to make sure that we can deliver on our promises.

That is why we want to invite just a select few firms to join us as Founding Members. This will give you the opportunity to shape the future of KnowledgeHUB, and assist us to develop the content that will be of most value to you in the long run.

The next time that we open up KnowledgeHUB for membership, the monthly fees will be substantially higher than the Founding Members rate, and over the years we could see the monthly fees at least doubling, if not even higher.

The big advantage for you as a Founding Member is that we are going to lock in your Founding Member rate for the life time of your subscription. It is just our way of saying thank you for supporting us at this stage in the development of our knowledge base.
What Is The Founding Members Offer?
Once the deadline of midnight Tuesday, 2 October 2018 hits, the monthly subscription for KnowledgeHUB rises to €69 + vat per month. Now, as always, we have a significant discount for those who choose to pay their annual subscription upfront in one lump sum. The discounted annual rate is €699 + vat per year.
As a Founding Member, we are going to slash the monthly membership fee to €49 + vat per month, with the heavily discounted annual rate of €499 + vat per year. 

That amounts to a saving of €240 a year on your KnowledgeHUB subscription. And remember, because we are allowing you to lock in your Founding Members rate for the life time of your subscription you are going to save at least €240 a year every year there after.
So, you have to ask yourself. Are you and your team going to try to go it alone, constantly getting sidetracked down technical rabbit holes or are you going to invest your time where you can get the greatest return for your firm and for your clients?
