IRIS Software Group, a provider of accountancy software with more than 45 years of industry expertise, has announced the launch of IRIS Firm Management Core (IFM Core) – a pre-configured, streamlined version of its enterprise-proven IRIS Firm Management platform (IFM). Designed specifically for mid-market CPA companies across the US, IFM Core delivers enterprise-grade practice management capabilities without enterprise complexity — enabling firms to be fully operational in as little as two to three weeks.
“CPA firms are under intense pressure to modernise while still meeting client demands and compliance requirements,” said Jim Dunham, President and GM, Americas of IRIS Software Group. “The reality is that companies don’t have time to wait — they have 90 days to prepare before busy tax season. With IFM Core, firms no longer have to choose between speed and sophistication. We’ve distilled our decades of enterprise expertise into a solution that is fast to implement, powerful enough to scale with growth and flexible enough to meet firms where they are today.”
Unlike traditional practice management solutions that burden companies with long implementations, rigid systems, or surface-level functionality, IFM Core is designed to deliver tangible business benefits, including –
- Rapid ROI: Companies can be operational in 2-3 weeks, delivering measurable returns within the first 30-60 days of implementation.
- Scalable growth: IFM Core can scale alongside firm complexity, avoiding costly system replacements while maximising opportunities for business growth.
- Deeper insights: Enterprise-grade visibility and KPIs empower leaders to make smarter, data-driven decisions.
- Connected ecosystem: Best-in-class integrations with Microsoft Business Central and Axpium give firms flexibility without vendor lock-in.
IRIS’ deep foundation in the accountancy sector, built over four decades, has made the company the trusted technology partner for over 20,000 accountancy firms in the UK. This deep domain expertise, combined with insights from supporting firms through countless regulatory changes and market shifts, has directly informed the development of IFM Core for the US market.
For years, mid-sized practices have been caught between outdated legacy systems and one-size-fits-all software that fails to keep pace with growth. Vendors have often prioritised either small companies with lightweight tools or the largest enterprises with costly, complex solutions. IFM Core claims to change that equation by giving medium-sized practices the same operational depth and enterprise-grade functionality as their larger peers — but in a package that is right-sized, faster to adopt, and easier to manage.
“Over the last 45 years, we’ve learned that success for accounting firms isn’t just about technology — it’s about truly understanding their pressures, workflows and growth paths,” added Dunham. “With IFM Core, we’ve built on that experience to deliver the right mix of innovation and enterprise-level efficiency without the complexity of enterprise-scale deployment.”
CPA companies wanting to streamline their practice management ahead of tax season can learn implementation strategies and best practices in IRIS’s webinar ‘Get Ready for Tax Season in Weeks’ on October 8th.
