16.06.21 Dublin – Cloud financial management platform AccountsIQ has won a bid to become the finance software solution at The Irish Times Group. The Media publishing group, which acquired The Examiner Group in 2018, is on a drive to digitally transform its business systems.
Following the decision to centralise the finance function of The Irish Times Group, AccountsIQ was selected as the software solution that best met The Group’s requirements.
The finance function was going to be centrally located and would support the Group so we were looking for a system that was cloud-based, could cater for various different business units with different revenue models & could provide Group reporting at the touch of a button” noted Group CFO, Mikie Sheehan, adding “The aim of the project was to leverage this cloud technology to create efficiencies, gain greater visibility and improve the experience for staff, customers and suppliers.”
AccountsIQ’s Head of Onboarding, Sinéad Brennan adds,
We are delighted to have helped re-write the playbook at The Irish Times and also with the outcome for Mikie and his team. They have steered the project from the start with a very clear goal in mind and can now enjoy the benefits.”
With the implementation project running through the pandemic, the team opted for a phased roll-out which began from the office in January 2020 and continued remotely, making good use of the software’s Cloud-based technologies and enabling accounting staff to work from home, business as usual. The project was completed in December 2020 and the next phase is to roll out the mobile app to all staff for expense capture and approval in 2021 as well as adding new technology roll-outs as they become available.
