At AccountsIQ, we are thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with IRIS Software Group (IRIS), a global leader in accounting, edtech, and human capital management solutions. This collaboration is set to drive cloud tech innovations, offering an integrated suite of cloud-based payroll, HR, and finance solutions that streamline operations, enhance cross-departmental collaboration, and empower businesses with powerful business intelligence tools.
A proven and expanding partnership
Since 2018, AccountsIQ and IRIS have successfully collaborated across various sectors. Building on our six-year partnership, we are excited to extend the availability of AccountsIQ’s advanced financial platform to IRIS Cascade and Staffology customers through the IRIS HR Marketplace. This expansion aims to benefit HR and Payroll customers by providing them with integrated, cloud-based solutions.
Seamless data integration between payroll and finance systems
The out of the box integration provides a flow of Staffology and Cascade payroll data directly into AccountsIQ, providing businesses with a unified cloud-based solution for payroll, HR, and finance that covers the entire employee lifecycle. This integration enhances operational efficiency and delivers actionable business intelligence insights.
Key benefits of the integrated cloud HR, Payroll and Finance system
Real-time Financial Performance Monitoring: Our intuitive dashboards provide detailed data analysis of financial performance, enabling businesses to make informed, data-driven decisions and swiftly adapt to evolving financial conditions.
Simplified Regulatory Compliance: Our platform simplifies VAT returns, corporate tax filings, and Companies House submissions, ensuring businesses remain compliant with current and future regulatory requirements.
Enhanced Accuracy and Streamlined Operations: By integrating payment authorisations and approvals into a single system, we reduce manual data entry, facilitate multi-currency transactions, ensure consistent data accuracy across functions, and strengthen financial governance.
Comprehensive Budget Management: Full audit trails support superior cost control and performance oversight, making it easy to authorise payments and invoices, and manage and consolidate invoices across multiple entities.
Real-world impact: insights from industry leaders
Steve Allen, Financial Director at IFX, emphasised the transformative role of AccountsIQ in their business growth:
“Our growth soared by 110% the year before last, a feat we attribute directly to AccountsIQ. Had we still been using Sage 50, our growth would have been stunted or, at the very least, would have required a significantly larger finance team.”
Building on this, Stephanie Coward, Managing Director of HCM at IRIS, shared her excitement about the collaboration:
“We are thrilled to introduce AccountsIQ as a strategic partner in IRIS' HR Marketplace. This partnership enables our customers to leverage a fully integrated, cloud-based suite of payroll, HR, and finance solutions, ultimately saving them time, improving cost control, and boosting profitability.”
Tony Connolly, Founder and CEO of AccountsIQ, highlighted the broader impact of this collaboration:
“We're enthusiastic about advancing our partnership with IRIS. By integrating HR, finance, and payroll solutions, we streamline processes and save time, allowing users to focus on growing their businesses. This expanded collaboration offers a fantastic opportunity for both AccountsIQ and IRIS to deliver a more unified and efficient service to our clients.”
Looking ahead: expanding opportunities
With AccountsIQ now available to Staffology and Cascade business customers, we are planning to expand its integration across IRIS’ accounting division products. This initiative will further enhance the unified service offering, providing even more businesses with powerful, integrated solutions for their payroll, HR, and finance needs.
