BDO Limited has a joint venture subsidiary, Ibex Systems (Channel Islands) Limited, which supplies Sage accounting software and services. This partnership brings together the professional skills and local business experience of BDO with the computer programming and systems implementation expertise of tn4 Solutions, a company based in the UK. Ibex offers a quality consultancy service that involves identifying the most appropriate software for each client, together with the provision of training for personnel and providing suitable backup and support.
Understanding our clients' businesses and objectives is paramount to our service. We then apply that knowledge and understanding to the selection and implementation of an accounting package that will deliver a solution tailored to suit clients' specific requirements.
We approach our accounting systems engagements from an accounting and business perspective rather than as IT projects. The majority of companies already have a great deal of accounting information in some shape or form but it may not necessarily be relevant or configured in the most efficient way. We identify any data deficiencies and then put together a suitable plan to minimise or eradicate them. We work with the client, taking into account their capabilities, to determine how much work will be done in-house and how much will need to be done by Ibex.
Once the systems are installed, some businesses are able to progress very much on their own, while others prefer a certain amount of handholding.
The accounting software packages most often recommended by us are products offered by the market leader, Sage. That software is chosen in the main for its generic application to different businesses. Sage offers a wide range of packages which are complemented by an excellent backup service. By virtue of its size, and its position as market leader, Sage has the resources to provide support, investment and product development to ensure an ongoing commitment to our clients' businesses.
