Lion Academy Trust saves half a million pounds using IRIS Financials
For many Trusts, accessibility and compliance are critical when it comes to a central finance system, something that IRIS Financials gives the team at Lion Academy Trust.
David Bond, CFO & COO at Lion Academy Trust, tells us, “I appreciate the structured approval processes in IRIS Financials software, which come with full audit capabilities. The cloud access feature is invaluable, allowing all finance users to access the same system, regardless of their location. This is complemented by online portal access for purchasing, enhancing our operational efficiency. The inclusion of 2-factor authentication (2FF) for security on cloud access adds an extra layer of protection, which I find crucial for safeguarding our financial data.”
“IRIS Financials allows you to work smarter, save money, remain compliant, pay suppliers on time, keep digital audit trails – I could go on!”
