Case Study: New Statesman Media Group gains greater control and automation with AccountsIQ

AccountsIQ gives New Statesman Media Group greater control over its finance function

New Statesman Media Group, a long-established media and publishing business with 17 entities, needed to modernise its finance function. Their legacy SunSystems accounting software was outdated, inefficient, and unable to fully support VAT compliance, reporting, and the group’s complex multi-entity structure. They also wanted a cloud-based system that could scale cost-effectively and integrate with tools like Salesforce without bespoke development.

AccountsIQ provided the solution, rolling out across all 17 entities with built-in consolidation, multi-dimensional reporting, HMRC-integrated VAT reporting, and integrations with Salesforce and Chaser. The result was faster, more automated finance processes, improved compliance, clearer audit trails, and better cash collection; tasks that previously took about a week could now be completed in 5–10 minutes, while invoicing and collections became significantly more efficient.
