Case Study: Tindle Newspaper Group achieves streamlined, consolidated reporting with AccountsIQ

Tindle Newspaper Group Gets Multi-dimensional, Streamlined and Consolidated Reporting by Switching to AccountsIQ

Tindle Newspaper Group, a UK regional media business, needed to modernize its finance function by moving off Sage Line 50 and replacing a fragmented, locally hosted setup with a cloud-based accounting platform. With dozens of trading entities, inconsistent bookkeeping across locations, and slow, risky manual consolidation, the team lacked the controls and reporting speed needed for better decision-making.

Tindle chose AccountsIQ, implemented with flinder, to deliver cloud accounting, automated consolidation, multi-dimensional reporting, and 4-4-5 accounting. AccountsIQ integrated with the group’s ad booking system and iCompleat invoice scanning tool, improved controls and auditability, and enabled monthly management accounts within two weeks. The result was far richer insight, less manual work, and expected annual savings of £300,000 to £400,000.
