Acting Office, the UK’s first AI-enabled full enterprise software for accountancy practices, has hired Frontline Accounting’s EMEA chief Mark McNee (pictured above) as its Commercial Director.

McNee, who has over 15 years’ experience working with leading accountancy and fintech firms including Intuit and Dext, will be responsible for further accelerating Acting Office’s growth strategy, driving sales and leading the company’s expansion plans.

In his new role, McNee will also draw on his extensive experience in AI and SaaS applications, further developing Acting Office’s powerful software platform to support client requirements. 

Key functions offered by Acting Office include providing a ‘one stop shop’ for the rapidly changing needs of large accounting practices, including AML and compliance onboarding, cloud integration and security authentication.

Last month Acting Office was granted formal accreditation by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). The certification means that Acting Office is officially listed as a trusted supplier for the institute’s Business Management Software and Financial Products Software categories. 

Kenny MacAulay, CEO, Acting Office said: “These are exciting times for our business and Mark has a proven track record of delivering outstanding growth during his career, bringing with him a wealth of AI and tech expertise. 

At a time when so many accounting practices are at a crossroads and struggling to manage overly complex legacy IT, our solution is tailored to deliver all technology requirements, through one single platform.”

Mark McNee, Commercial Director, Acting Office said: “Acting Office is ushering in a new era of software excellence for accounting practices and I’m thrilled to be joining such a fast-growing team that understands the rapidly changing needs of the industry.

 With our platform, ambitious practices can embrace AI, increase profitability and enable outstanding customer experience, allowing them to reach their full potential.”
