Asked about the possibility of a U.S. launch, a spokesperson said, the company is "currently exploring what elements of the Accountants Business Cloud would make sense to leverage for the North American accountant business."

The Accountants cloud, accessed via Sage Accountants Division Exchange website, provides a library of pre-loaded, personalized email marketing campaign templates. It also is said to offer real-time reporting, print-ready graphs and analytics.

These are similar to the kinds of practice aids that Sage is offering and expanding in this country through the Sage Accountants Network. The U.K. site also offers information for building brand awareness and the generation of firm-branded client newsletters.
