As a market leader working cross-industry, Deloitte Ireland identified a growing technology need for scaling businesses with revenues between €30 million and €150 million. While entry-level finance systems often lacked the sophistication required to support increasing operational and reporting complexity, larger enterprise platforms could be costly, resource-intensive, and overly complex to implement.

Deloitte Ireland recognised AccountsIQ as a strong potential fit for its mid-sized clients seeking a more scalable and insight-driven finance platform, particularly with many outgrowing Sage 50 or spreadsheet-based operations.

AccountsIQ’s cloud accounting software streamlines business workflows, delivering next-level insights and empowering better business decisions and faster results. The platform provides multi-entity finance management and a clear dashboard to help firms modernise finance operations with AI automation.

Ian Whitefoot, Partner at Deloitte Ireland, said, “In recent years, we’ve seen a significant increase in the attractiveness of Irish indigenous businesses to private equity investors in Ireland, the UK and the US. Typically, when institutional or strategic investors buy in to owner-founded businesses, there is a requirement to enhance management and financial reporting. Spreadsheets alone are unlikely to do the job for long. AccountsIQ offers an intuitive and affordable solution for many of these companies.”

Darren Cran, CEO of AccountsIQ, added, “Deloitte works with some of the world’s leading business teams and, with this collaboration, we can help ambitious mid-market companies build finance functions fit for growth.

“Unlike many competing platforms, our platform is designed with mid-market businesses in mind. In the age of AI and automation, AccountsIQ’s current features and product roadmap will support the future strategy of Deloitte Ireland’s clients.”
