Case Study: Shard Capital achieves multi-currency accounting and richer reporting with Aqilla

Shard Capital Gains from Aqilla’s Rich Functionality and Low Price Point

Shard Capital, a financial services firm, struggled with its legacy accounting system's lack of functionality and cumbersome reporting as it grew from a 4-person startup. Their specific challenge was finding a sophisticated and affordable way to handle multi-currency transactions while maintaining permanent currency ledgers, which led them to seek a new solution from vendor Aqilla.

By implementing Aqilla's cloud-based accounting software, Shard Capital gained superior multi-currency capabilities and the Sharperlight reporting interface for deeper business intelligence. The solution easily handled bulk data uploads and scaled with the company as it expanded. As a result, the finance team eliminated frustrating processes, gained valuable insights, and saw the business grow to 55 staff without outgrowing the Aqilla system or suffering any service failures.
