Other ways
that IFM can empower
your business

IRIS Firm Management can link with tools like Apxium and Business Central (Microsoft Dynamics 365). IRIS is an authorised reseller of both, so you have one expert vendor for both solutions.

Apxium

Apxium is a tool many accountancy firms rely on for getting the money they’re owed, helping them get paid online, and reconciling this against their invoices. It’s built to help make messy processes smooth, ask for payments automatically, and offer every transaction method in one place. Use it to automate invoices, statements, payments, and credit control processes. It also does all the reconciliation, so you know what’s in your bank matches what’s being billed. At any moment, you can see what work has been charged for and what hasn’t.

People choose Apxium for:
Expertise focused on accounting
Their global presence
The way it connects directly to IRIS
How secure it is – it’s SOC 2 audited

Business Central

Business Central is Microsoft’s online accounting system, and part of its Dynamics 365 suite. It’s an option for larger firms looking to track transactions, pay bills, chase invoices, hold reliable records and more. Known for its single-source-of-truth data handling and easy configuration, it helps monitor KPIs – and complements IFM by syncing with your firm’s financial management workflows. It’s ideal for:

Firms that employ more than 100 staff and work
across several offices
Practices dealing with multiple currencies
Firms going through M&A who want to bring clarity to their numbers
Partners looking to optimise EBITDA
Firms seeking to bring their software solutions into the cloud

Tip: You can also integrate IFM with your chosen HR, CRM, and other solutions via an extensive API library.

What advanced features can you access with IFM?

What you’ve seen so far makes IFM a first choice for many accountancy practices worldwide. But what if you have a more complex firm? We can configure your system to include enterprise-level features, such as:

Advanced billing: For WIP
accruals, specialty billing, and product billing.

Advanced time entry: For pinned entries, timesheet import.

Advanced WIP: For WIP provisions, cross-charging, and cost rates for real margin per job.

Multi-currency: For international clients and cross-border billing without manual reconciliation.

Scheduling: For high-detail
capacity planning.

Commission tracking: To report commission by fee earner.

Retainers: Take payment up front, automatically apply retained funds against future invoices, reduce credit-control effort, and support subscription or value-based pricing models.

TOIL: Firms can configure expected weekly hours, time off in lieu rules, overtime rules, approval rules, and related policies.
