The Background
StruFin was approached by a conglomerate comprising four distinct group companies straddling two continents—two in Iceland, one in the UK, and one in the US. The client’s goal was to unify their disparate accounting practices, scattered across various legacy systems, into a single, streamlined Xero environment.
Challenges
The intricacies of tailoring a universal account mapping structure applicable to all companies. Ensuring compliance with different accounting standards and tax regulations. Coordinating the migration simultaneously across three time zones. Preserving data integrity and historical financial records in the transfer.
Our Approach
Strategic Planning: Carefully crafting a custom migration blueprint accounting for the idiosyncrasies of each company and its specific geography.
Collaboration: Working closely with in-house accountants and financial teams to understand and address their unique needs.
Technical Execution: Utilizing advanced data migration tools to ensure error-free transfer, with rigorous checks and balances.
Compliance & Training: Harmonizing practices with local financial legislation and providing comprehensive Xero training to all teams.
Results
The migration’s success was marked by several impactful achievements, most notably:
Consolidated Financial Statements: For the first time, the group benefited from monthly consolidated financial statements across all companies, enhancing strategic decision- making and financial transparency
Business Continuity: The companies experienced zero downtime, ensuring no loss of revenue or delayed financial reporting throughout the transition period.
Unified Financial Framework: A centralized, real-time financial reporting system was established, streamlining operations and boosting efficiency.
Regulatory Compliance: All companies achieved compliance with their respective country’s financial regulations seamlessly.
Adaptability and Training: The client praised the comprehensive training provided, which facilitated a smooth adaptation to Xero’s functionalities.
Client Testimonial
“Transitioning to Xero under StruFin’s guidance has been a game–changer. Not only was the migration process smooth and professionally handled across our diverse group companies, but we have also gained immensely from the ability to generate consolidated financial statements monthly, which was not possible before. The clarity and consolidation they brought to our financial operations have empowered our business.”
