“Having set-up a new operation in Africa, we needed to implement a solution quickly to start trading. We initially looked at buying an on-premise accounting package and the required servers and infrastructure but had little access to local IT support. Luckily AccountsIQ was recommended to us and we were able to implement a full solution within 4 weeks at a fraction of the cost of installing an on-premise solution.”
Kevin Ruane, CFO, Aga Trading
“We are impressed with the reporting capabilities of AccountsIQ, and with the support we got from the AccountsIQ team in implementing the new system. A cloud solution makes so much sense for a multi-location business like ours. We now have a strong foundation on which to manage and grow our operations and develop our franchise model, while maintaining tight control.”
Barry Kehoe, CFO, Insomnia Cafe franchise
“From the start, AccountsIQ impressed us with their advanced and streamlined accountancy software. The professional and personal level of support has been tremendous. We would highly recommend AccountsIQ to any company, large or medium sized”
Padraig Barron, Finance Manager, Kilsaran International
“When we upgraded our EPOS system to Merit Web, we needed a new accounts package which would integrate with our system. We looked at several but felt that AccountsIQ would be the best fit. Benefits included no capital outlay, no extra hardware and a comprehensive accounting package which is easy to use. Merit Web and AccountsIQ integrated the two systems directly, so there was no third party software required. This made the management of the change much easier and cheaper. We have nearly completed the project and we have been delighted with AccountsIQ. We’ve had fantastic support, with our contact always quickly resolving any issues arising. Live bank reconciliations, supplier account management and comprehensive management reporting is already improving efficiency in the accounts department. We are very pleased to be working with AccountsIQ and are very happy to recommend them. ”
Norma McCambridge, Director, McCambridge’s of Galway Ltd
“Our clients are most impressed with having access to their accounting information and extensive reporting and analysis 24-7 from any internet connection. The system saves a lot of time on both client and practice sides of the business”
Anant Govande, CEO, OATS
“Kingsworth School required an accounting system that offered the ability to scale as the school grows whilst minimising the capital outlay from the beginning. "When we set out on our journey to implement a new accounting system for the Kingsworth Group of Schools, ease of use, integration with our current MIS, friendly relations and great customer service were top of our pre-requisites. With AccountsIQ, we have all of that and more. The team at AccountsIQ have been outstanding; from our initial contact and discussions, right the way through to helping our finance department implement the system in the best way for us. AccountsIQ is a system that is adapted for our needs, rather than us adapting to its capabilities, indeed its capabilities and possibilities are huge." ”
Tony Standing, Director of Information, Kingsworth International School
“AccountsIQ’s main success for us has been the efficiency it has brought to the business. The product is a good fit for our pretty complex accounting requirements and AccountsIQ gives us real value for money. We are looking forward to finding even more ways to use the system to improve the way in which we work. I’ve spent 20 years in finance and AccountsIQ is by far the best solution I’ve come across. Hands down beats the major players and has more functionality at a cost effective price. Wish I found this years ago.””
Lee Camp, Finance Director, Salamanca Group
“AccountsIQ has enormous potential to produce Management Information Reports. In order for us to create those automated reporting packs and make dashboards meaningful, we have been working with AccountsIQ’s very flexible coding structure to ensure it is optimised for our purposes. The ability to define user access and create custom reports will allow us to cascade reporting throughout the Trust in a relevant way. We’ve got a fantastic product and the implementation team has been very good, particularly with our management accounting project. My mantra is ‘making finance valued and valuable’. With AccountsIQ, and a great team here at HCT, we are making that happen. ”
Charlie Inigo-Jones, Finance Director, Hampshire Cultural Trust
“AccountsIQ solves our reporting problems without the need for an overly-complex and costly accounting system and saves us half a day alone by being able to produce reports at the push of a button. The software is intuitive and quite simple to implement which means you are up and running fairly quickly. It’s very easy to use so the on-boarding process is fast. We’ve got ambitions for growth and we know AccountsIQ will allow us to move quickly when we add new entities to the group. We evaluated a number of accounting software packages but AccountsIQ was the one we ran hardest at. The accounting can be as simple or as complex as you need, new entities are easy to add as the business grows, yet it tackles some heavyweight processes like consolidation and multicurrency reporting with ease.”
Marcus Karia, Group Financial Controller, Arix Bioscience
“We had previously been using four different packages including two versions of Sage as well as the UK and US version of Quickbooks. Consolidation was a logistical nightmare. Neither provider could meet our core requirements, in the way AccountsIQ could, for multicurrency trading and consolidation across the group. AccountsIQ saves me a week’s worth of work every month end. The biggest benefit that we see with AccountsIQ is that the data is dynamic; it is not just a report. We can drill down into the data, solve the query, and re-run the report accurately. We simply update or overwrite as necessary. We’ve taken the opportunity to redesign and rebuild our reports because of the flexibility within AccountsIQ. We are no longer restricted to what, when and how we report; it is a big step change.”
Simon Brown, Financial Controller, Getech
