CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Before this solution, consolidating and finalizing our group financial statements took about two weeks. But now, we’re finished in five days. We have integrated Cognos Controller into our Planning Analytics suite which allows us to easily distribute Income statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and various Ratios across the businesses. We needed a consultancy that had not only the relevant IT experience but also a good understanding of the finance function. 1 Direction Global consultants, had both technology and accountancy qualifications, so brought the necessary hybrid of skills to support the roll-out”
