Case Study: David Chipperfield Architects achieves faster, more reliable finance reporting with AccountsIQ and Rapport3

Award-winning architects complete major finance transformation with AccountsIQ and Rapport3

David Chipperfield Architects, the award-winning London-based architecture practice, needed to modernize a fragmented finance setup that relied on Sage for accounting and Deltek for project management. As the firm expanded internationally, this created data duplication, slow reporting, limited real-time visibility, and growing complexity around multi-currency project work.

AccountsIQ implemented its cloud financial management software alongside Rapport3, fully integrated from scratch to connect finance, project costing, invoicing, and purchase orders. The result was smoother month-end close, improved reporting accuracy, and stronger cashflow forecasting, with finance saving 1–2 days per month by eliminating manual duplication. AccountsIQ also enabled live project dashboards via Power BI and better visibility across global projects.
