"Intuitive system, with nice functions and frequent improvements."
5/5
What do you like best about AccountsIQ?

It is very easy to pick up, I was new to it and found it extremely easy to start finding my way around the system, it was easy to run GLs, find creditors and debtors etc. The reports are fairly easy to get used to as well. I like the consolidation function, I find it easy to use as well, and I like the reports.

There are nice little functions as well, such as being able to edit postings whilst leaving an audit trail rather than just reversing and reposting. Another good feature is the intercompany posting function - intercompany invoices appear in the other entity automatically; this helps ensure that invoices are not posted in one entity but not the other.

I like the functionality and I know that I am not making full use of its potential, something I aim to remedy in the near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AccountsIQ?

Although I like the intercompany/consolidation aspects, I feel there could be some improvement.

On the consolidation side of things, I think it would be beneficial to be able to drill into balances whilst in the reporting function in the group entity. So, for instance, being able to drill into a P&L or balance sheet code in a report and seeing the breakdown by entity.

It would also be helpful to be able to run debit/credit statements between entities, or rather to be able to run an intercompany matrix at month-end. Quickly seeing the balances owed between entities without having to go into them individually would be very helpful.

Finally, some small things - in the bank rec section, I sometimes would like to be able to export the postings in the bank rec period into excel. Also, when creating a BI code and tagging it to a dimension, it would be very helpful to start typing in the dropdown to find your dimension selection. We have long lists, and having to scroll down is very time-consuming sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Consolidation efficiencies"
4.5/5
What do you like best about AccountsIQ?

We started using AccountsIQ as they offered the most comprehensive and efficient platform to consolidate a number of our existing nominal ledgers into one simplified database. We are still going through the onboarding process to some degree but the support and guidance provided thus far has been very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AccountsIQ?

Nothing particular to note in this regard. Consolidating the various nominal ledgers we have is not a straight forward process and understandably this will take some time. Overall our staff have been complimentary about the platform to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jeni Peacock of AccountsIQ

Thanks for your super review John - so pleased you and your team are enjoying the software!

Easy to navigate with new windows open for enquiries. Purchasing process works well with invoice ingestion from emails very smooth. Reportingdirectly into excel with direct links very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AccountsIQ?

No major issues. Still waiting for dual mileage rates (hmrc tax bands) to work in expenses. System reports never quite cover what you need but in built explorers more than make up for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Most user friendly finance system I have ever used"
4.5/5
What do you like best about AccountsIQ?

The support & onboarding team are very helpful & efficient. No third-party software is required for supplier payments & for the accounts payable inbox. The bank import works well & data feeds are extremely useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AccountsIQ?

The data feed functions are a little limited; it would be helpful if the functions could be used dynamically. For example, the aged creditor's detail report is used by us weekly, but I have to open Power Query and edit the function date manually; it would be much better if we could set this dynamically to the current date.

The invoice/statement layouts are not as flexible as other systems.

It would be nice to have an option to see the ageing of debtors/creditors by period instead of by date, we have had a bespoke report built for us, but it would be nice to see this live in the system too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It takes time to get used to the interface. Reports functionality could be improved"
3/5
What do you like best about AccountsIQ?

The importing transactions function is very good. Easy to use once you have done it a few times.

AP inbox is a great help in posting invoices quickly.

I like the prepayments and depreciation function, very intuitive and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AccountsIQ?

Producing payments batches and sending remittances is not as easy as other systems. Too many clicks. The process could be simplified .

Some reports like aged debtors and creditors need improving.

It is not possible to produce a P&L report for selected periods only. It would also be good if all P&L reports were drillable. The drilling function where it works could be improved as well.

Limited flexibility when posting journals to control accounts is an issue.

The bank feed is good but not very intuitive, it needs more work

The purchase and sale ledger interface is not good, it needs a less complicated approach to look at transactions. You have to click so many times to see what you want and you can only customise it to an extent. I end up having to put everything on excel to be able to understand the transactions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Suggestions for Purchasing, Receipt aspects of AIQ"
4/5
What do you like best about AccountsIQ?

One stop shop for supplier information, purchase orders, delivery tracking. Automated entry of Supplier Information into Purchase Orders is very useful. Tracking to approved funds is also streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AccountsIQ?

At login, it would be preferable to press the ''Enter'' key to move between information boxes i.e., instead of having to click with the mouse into each Username/ID/Password etc, just press ''Enter''. When preparing a PO a line item cannot be deleted, it would be useful to have the option to delete line items, currently they have to remain in the text and the value has to be reduced to 0.00 in order to ''remove'' them from an order. Upon delivery it would be useful if when receiving items line by line in ''Receive'' that the email that is circulated to the requester of the PO has line by line information i.e. not just the PO has been delivered (standard message whether one or multiple items have been delivered, not very useful).
