Case Study: Stones Accountancy Limited increases margins and frees time to add client value with IRIS Software Group's OpenResourcing

Using IRIS OpenResourcing frees Stones Accountancy to add value to client businesses

Stones Accountancy Limited, a sole-practitioner chartered accountancy practice led by Peter O’Donnell, needed access to qualified accountancy expertise without the cost and management burden of recruiting and training in‑house staff. To address this, Stones partnered with IRIS Software Group and began using its IRIS OpenResourcing service alongside IRIS Accountancy Suite.

IRIS Software Group’s IRIS OpenResourcing scans client documents into a secure portal, allocates qualified staff to complete routine compliance work, and returns files that integrate with IRIS Accountancy Suite. The solution let Stones avoid taking on the equivalent of two accountancy hires, reduce overheads and charge-out rates, increase margins, speed up turnaround, and free Peter to spend more time on higher‑value client advisory work.
