Case Study: Hampshire Cultural Trust streamlines multi-site accounting and reporting with AccountsIQ

Hampshire Cultural Trust Implements AccountsIQ Across Both Trust and Trading Entities

Hampshire Cultural Trust (HCT) needed an affordable accounting solution after moving away from Hampshire Councils’ centralised SAP system. With 23 museum and cultural sites, two legal entities, and restricted funds to manage, HCT required better consolidation, sector-compliant reporting, and flexible financial control. They chose AccountsIQ cloud accounting and consolidation software to support their complex structure.

AccountsIQ implemented a cloud-based platform across the Trust and trading entities, enabling multi-dimensional coding, automated reporting packs, and clearer management reporting for restricted funds and multiple locations. The solution improved transparency and visibility of financials and laid the foundation for future integrations with ticketing and EPOS systems. HCT reported that implementation was quick and effective, with daily reconciliation and automation set to deliver major efficiencies across finance, stock control, and reporting.
