Need to step up to a flexible mid-market solution but unsure which to choose? Make the smart move and choose AccountsIQ for more functionality, next level reporting and outstanding support. Easier to use than Sage 200, with faster implementation, 100% UKI support and no hidden costs, AccountsIQ gives you everything you need to save crucial time each month and drive better business decisions.
Not all cloud accounting software is built the same. Starter options like Sage help keep costs down by limiting storage and processing, which works when you're just starting out. But as your business grows, you need more support. That’s where AccountsIQ helps you work better—with unlimited data storage, powerful processing, and no fair usage limits. Better begins now, with the freedom to scale and achieve more.

“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.”

Yes. AccountsIQ is typically set up to automate more of the close process, including bank feeds and reconciliation, batch AP processing with approval workflows, and recurring journals. It also supports multi-entity and multi-currency consolidation with intercompany eliminations handled in-system, rather than relying on spreadsheets. Reporting is usually structured to be faster and more consistent too, using built-in reports and dashboards plus BI analysis codes for multi-dimensional management reporting—reducing the need to rebuild reports manually.
Yes. This usually happens when group reporting and consolidation are still heavily spreadsheet-based, when the organisation needs more detailed reporting across dimensions such as project, fund, site/location, region or brand, or when month-end is slowed down by manual intercompany postings, allocations, and foreign exchange workarounds.
It can also be a driver when teams want a cloud platform that’s easier to access across offices and regions, with simpler integrations and upgrades.
