Informanagement was established in Geldrop, Holland in 2002 by two accountants who were looking for a way of communicating more effectively with their clients. Having set up Informanagement and developed v1 of the Informanagement system a new way of sending out newsletters was born.
The ‘IM’ system drives the services we provide.
The essence of Informanagement is our online portal that we have developed. This system houses all of our articles that we write each week and push out through a variety of medias including email, print, website and social. With the newsletters this allows us to create ‘profiles’ for individual recipients filtering out content that is not relevant to them.
Informanagement will write approx. 12-15 articles per week which are then pushed out via our suite of different services.
This gives each newsletter recipient a personalised newsletter with the content that is specifically relevant to them. Additionally, content is then pushed out by our system on to your practice website to keep it up to date and on to your social media profiles. To compliment these services we also push the articles internally to staff so they are aware of what is going out to clients and aid their CPD.
At Informanagement we are continually looking to develop and enhance our services to add more value to practices. Every year we are either revamping and developing the services we currently have or are launching something new.

Author of Money Talks – So Why Aren’t You Listening, Mentor and Accountant.
I started my practice back in 1991 and have been through the good, the bad, and the ugly of being a practice owner, the late nights, the stressful clients, the deadline pressure, but no more. Technology, systems and a change of thinking have all resulted in a minimal office, remote staff and a business that never runs to other people deadlines or their stresses. The practice provides us with a full-time income on part-time input leaving me time to pursue other interests, one of which is I want to help Sole Practitioners avoid the pain and suffering I went through when I first started.
