Clive Hand Nominated for Insightful Accountant’s 2026 Top 50 International QuickBooks ProAdvisor Award
I’m delighted to share that I have been nominated for Insightful Accountant’s 2026 Top 50 International ProAdvisors, after previously being recognised in Insightful Accountant’s Top 50 International ProAdvisors for 2024.
For me, this is not just a personal milestone. It reflects the work I care deeply about every day, helping Irish businesses get more value from QuickBooks Online.
At QuickWorks, we specialise in QuickBooks Online migration, training and support. Our goal is simple, to help business owners and finance teams use QuickBooks Online properly, understand their numbers clearly, and build better systems for growth.
Because choosing software is only the beginning. The real value comes from having QuickBooks Online set up correctly, used consistently, and supported by someone who understands both the software and the financial side of the business.
QuickBooks Online is only as good as the way it is implemented
QuickBooks Online is a powerful cloud accounting platform. It can save time, improve visibility, streamline bookkeeping, and give business owners access to real-time financial information.
But software on its own does not solve problems.
A poor migration can cause confusion from the start.
A rushed setup can lead to unreliable reports.
A lack of training can leave teams only using part of the system.
And weak bookkeeping processes can result in numbers that are available, but not useful.
That is why working with a QuickBooks Online specialist in Ireland matters.
When QuickBooks Online is implemented well, it becomes much more than a bookkeeping system. It becomes a tool that helps business owners make better decisions with better information.
Why specialist support makes a difference
At QuickWorks, we help clients with:
But the real outcome is bigger than that.
We help businesses build confidence in their numbers.
That means helping clients create cleaner systems, better bookkeeping habits, and more useful reports. It means giving business owners access to financial information they can rely on, not just numbers that sit in the background until year end.
When QuickBooks Online is working properly, business owners can answer important questions much faster:
- Are we making enough profit?
- Is cash flow tightening?
- Are margins improving?
- What are debtors and creditors doing?
- Do we have the information we need to grow confidently?
This is where specialist support becomes valuable. It is not just about knowing where to click in the software. It is about understanding what the numbers mean and how the system should support better business decisions.
Why this nomination matters to me
Since 2020, I have focused heavily on QuickBooks Online and on helping businesses use it better.
I am a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and a QuickBooks Online Advanced ProAdvisor, and I have had the opportunity to speak and host at QuickBooks in-person events in Dublin, including in April 2024 and again in October 2024 with Kevin Barry.
What I enjoy most is helping people feel more confident with their bookkeeping, their reporting, and the way they use financial information in their business.
That passion has shaped both Bluestone Accounting and QuickWorks.
Through Bluestone Accounting, I have worked closely with business owners to improve cash flow, understand their numbers, and move toward better cloud-based systems. QuickWorks was built as a specialist extension of that experience, focused specifically on helping businesses with QuickBooks Online migration, training and support.
For me, this nomination is recognition not just of my own journey, but of the value that specialist QuickBooks knowledge can bring to businesses that want better systems and better results.
Why businesses should care about recognised expertise
Awards are not everything, but they do matter.
They signal commitment, consistency and credibility. They show that the work you are doing is being recognised by others in the profession and wider community.
For businesses investing in QuickBooks Online, that matters.
If you are moving from another system, trying to improve reporting, or looking to get more from QuickBooks Online, you want to know you are working with someone who understands the software properly and can help you use it in a way that supports your business.
That is what I aim to bring to every QuickWorks project.
Not jargon.
Not overcomplication.
Just practical support, expert guidance, and systems that help businesses get the maximum value from QuickBooks Online.
If I’ve helped you, you can now help me.
This nomination means a lot to me personally, but it also reflects the clients, peers, fellow accountants, bookkeepers and business owners I have worked with and learned from along the way.
If I have helped you through QuickBooks Online training, support, migration advice, event speaking, or sharing knowledge within the profession, I would genuinely appreciate your vote.
