From QuickBooks to AccountsIQ
Your business has grown. You need deeper insights, faster processes and the ability to manage more complexity - without extra workarounds.
QuickBooks didn’t allow us to segment our reports across the business. So the BI codes within AccountsIQ are great. We now have three BI codes so we can report on each of the different levels.

Humentum
“AccountsIQ does everything we need and it’s an ideal fit for us as the next step up from QuickBooks. With QuickBooks, month-end could almost take the whole month! Now, we do it within five working days. Getting the results out quickly makes a big difference.”

"Running reports in AccountsIQ is quick and we've got the capability to do multi-dimensional reporting, which will be really valuable to us. I'd say it takes about one tenth of the time we're used to in Sage."

"Starter systems like Sage and Xero don’t really meet the needs of a complex business. AccountsIQ is a proper accounting package. It’s Cloud-based, user-friendly and meets all the accounting needs of an international business like IFX.”

FAQs
How did Humentum reduce month-end time after moving from QuickBooks to AccountsIQ?
In Humentum’s published testimonial, they said that on QuickBooks month-end could “almost take the whole month,” and that after moving to AccountsIQ they now complete month-end “within five working days.”
How does reporting in AccountsIQ compare with QuickBooks?
AccountsIQ is typically used when you need more structured reporting across entities and more ways to analyse performance. It supports a 3-level general ledger plus up to six BI (analysis) dimensions for tagging transactions, a large library of built-in reports with drill-down, dashboards for different roles, and live connections to Excel and Power BI via OData so reporting can refresh from system data instead of relying on manual exports.
When do you know it’s time to switch accounting software?
It’s usually time to switch when the business has outgrown a single-entity setup and you’re relying on spreadsheets to pull group results together. Common signs include a slow month-end because reconciliations, uploads, and consolidations are manual; limited reporting by things like project, site, fund, or region; and processes such as approvals, allocations, and intercompany being handled through workarounds rather than cleanly in-system.
