Iris Open Space Guide

 

Under the new General Data Protection Regulations, we are unable to email any documents which contain personal data and accordingly, we have put in place a system called Iris OpenSpace which will be used to email documents such as letters, Accounts, Tax Return checklists, Tax Returns and other documents to you for your retrieval, review and approval. You can also exchange documents with us by going onto your Client Portal and uploading the documents.

To access these documents, you will need to register with a password by clicking on the link you receive through your email. Once this initial registration has been set up, in future you may access your documents on Iris OpenSpace through this link https://evaccountants.irisopenspace.co.uk/ and follow the instructions.

How to sign and approve documents
