Accounting WEB Live Expo 2024 | Sift | 12 March 2024 | National Exhibition Centre, Pendigo Way, Marston Green, Birmingham B40 1NT, UK

Imagine an accountancy and bookkeeping event where you know you’ll be able to spend time with like-minded businesses. Somewhere that’s not loud and overbearing, but a fun, warm and friendly place to do business. A place where you feel heard and understood.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Festival of Accounting and Bookkeeping (or FAB for short).

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel welcomed. You’ll find a fantastic range of engaging short and snappy discussions covering the latest in Accountancy and Bookkeeping.

You’ll learn how to use the latest tech, top up your knowledge, and get actual answers to the burning questions you’ve been dying to ask. Plus, you’ll have heaps of time to share ideas with other sole traders and small business owners.
