NEWS 2026 | Professional Credentials Strengthened Through Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA) Membership

We are delighted to announce that Irina Inayat is now a member of the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA), an internationally recognised professional body.

The IFA is a respected accountancy membership organisation dedicated to supporting accountants who work with small and medium-sized businesses. As a full member of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), the IFA promotes high professional standards, ethical conduct, technical excellence, and ongoing professional development across the profession.

For our clients, this is more than just a professional milestone, it is another demonstration of our commitment to providing the highest possible standard of service across the Group.

As part of her membership, Irina will have access to continuing professional development, industry guidance, technical resources, and a network of fellow professionals. This helps ensure that Penn Accounts remains up to date with changes in legislation, regulation, taxation, accounting standards, and best practice.

Our clients can continue to expect:

• Up-to-date advice informed by the latest professional guidance.

• Confidence that their accountant is committed to ongoing learning and development.

• Support from a practice that places professionalism, integrity, and compliance at the heart of everything it does.

• Practical guidance tailored to the needs of small and growing businesses.

• Access to expertise that evolves alongside changing regulations and business requirements.

At Penn Accounts and across the Group, we understand that business owners need more than someone to prepare accounts and submit returns. They need a trusted adviser who can help them navigate challenges, identify opportunities, and make informed financial decisions. That is also why we have developed the Penn Approach.

Irina's IFA membership reinforces our commitment to delivering that level of support and ensuring our clients benefit from the highest standards of professional accountancy services.

We would like to congratulate Irina on this achievement and look forward to continuing to support our clients with the expertise, professionalism, and personal service they have come to expect from Penn Accounts.
