IRIS Star Practice Management
United Kingdom
What it is
IRIS Star Practice Management is built for large, multi-office accounting firms that need visibility across clients, staff, jobs, work in progress, and accounts receivable. Its modular design lets firms customize forms, fields, and reports. Users can record work in progress time and client or non-client expenses, with approval and reimbursement workflows. Billing includes work-in-progress allocation, approval steps, fee forecasting targets, and recurring invoices for multiple entities and currencies.
Firms can allocate staff by availability, skills, rank, location, and experience, and create staff and job budgets. Reporting includes web-based business intelligence, standard reports using Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, and an optional Dashboard BI module. Named integrations include iChannel by IRIS, Beeye, Power BI, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and Apxium Collect. IRIS describes an open SQL database, API connections, and links to financial ledgers for general ledger and accounts payable data flow. Deployment can be on-premise or in the cloud, including a managed cloud instance. Pricing is on request. The web app is optimized for a large desktop browser window and is not recommended for mobile devices.
