I am passionate about fixing things. I love a challenge, which is why tax technology has been home for nearly 25 years. Where else can a ‘technologist’ make a real difference and help clients fix real business issues.In a nutshell, I solve complex tax problems with technology. Simple right? We all have areas of our day jobs which could be better, ‘there has to be a better way?’ I help clients in three ways:1) I help you make the most of what you have. Can existing systems work better for you in tax?2) I know the tax technology market, which includes established brands but also new disruptive technology solutions. I help explain what is out there, what could work for you, as well as helping you design and implement the right solutions3) If there are still gaps, I innovate. We build solutions to plug gapsGrowing up in the North East and dreaming of being a professional sportsman ingrained in me a sense of honesty and integrity, but also the fact you have to have fun in what you do. Those core values I carry through to my work, throw in the importance of teams and that is me.I have the ability to present complex IT technical areas in a straightforward and easy to understand manner. Being able to translate the technology for tax people and tax for technology people is what I do. I’m here to help. I love switching on light bulbs with people. There has to be a better way right?Common misspellings include – Iain Bowden, Ian Boden
