At Keys Finance, we believe that true value doesn’t just come from what we do in-house, it comes from who we are in partnership with.
Two of our key strategic alliances are with Chartered Accountants Ireland and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales (ICAEW). These partnerships deepen our industry connections, broaden the benefits we can offer to both members and their clients, while amplifying our shared mission to support chartered accountants in practice.
Chartered Accountants Ireland: What they do and how we collaborate
Chartered Accountants Ireland is the professional body for Chartered Accountants in Ireland, with a mission to educate, certify, support, and champion accounting professionals across Ireland and internationally. It currently represents over 39,000 members across more than 100 countries and supports more than 6,600 students.
Through our partnerships, Keys Finance aligns with Chartered Accountants Ireland’s goals of delivering tangible and practical benefits to members. We work together to ensure that members gain access to financial services tools and solutions that help manage cashflow, fees, and debtor days more effectively. In doing so, we contribute a practical, hands-on component to the professional support ecosystem that they offer.
“Our partnership with Keys Finance reflects Chartered Accountants Ireland’s commitment to delivering practical, high-impact solutions for our members. By combining Keys Finance’s flexible fee finance tools with our trusted professional network, we’re empowering firms to manage cash flow more effectively and focus on what they do best, serving their clients and growing their businesses.”
— Anastasia Cleary, Commercial Partnership Manager, Chartered Accountants Ireland
ICAEW: our BenefitsPlus Partnership
ICAEW is the foremost accounting body in the UK, offering technical support, regulation, continuing education, networking, and member services.
In recent years, ICAEW has overhauled its rewards and member-offers system under a new brand, BenefitsPlus (previously known as Member Rewards). Under BenefitsPlus, members have access to a curated programme of both professional and lifestyle offers- everything from discounts on IT and cybersecurity services, to travel, fashion, and leisure.
Keys Finance is proud to be listed as a partner within the BenefitsPlus programme, specifically our Next-Day Payment offerings helping ICAEW members speed up cashflow, reduce debtor days, and improve liquidity in practice. This gives ICAEW members a clear, practical tool to pair with the strategic or knowledge benefits of their ICAEW membership.
“Keys Finance has been a valued partner of ICAEW for many years, and we’re pleased to feature them in our Benefits Plus programme. By offering their flexible fee finance facility, we’re supporting ICAEW firms in improving cash flow, delivering better client service, and driving sustainable growth.” – Clare Fitzpatrick, Senior Affinity Partnerships Manager, Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales
