Digita recruits from Ernst & Young

Three former Ernst & Young employees join accountancy software business Digita, supporting its client services team.

The three recruits will focus on day-to-day support for clients implementation planning and consultancy at Digita, which caters to both accountants in business and practice.

Jerry Rihll, managing director of Digita, said: “Accountants like dealing with fellow qualified professional and the work of the client services team sets the standard by which our customers judge us.

"Our aim is to employ the highest calibre of staff who through working within the industry really understand the issues affecting accountants.”

Digita is strengthening its client services team in preparation of the switchover to iXBRL in April 2011. iXBRL is a computer tagging language in which all corporation tax returns must be filed from next year.

The new employees will be based in Exmouth and London.

Digita currently employs 16 support staff, including the new recruits, and 14 specialist software testers, out of a total 100 employees.
