The Need

For CDT to outsource their finance function.

Why Isosceles?

  • Isosceles’ flexible approach meant CDT could use the service in exactly the way they wanted
  • By utilising CDT’s existing system (SunAccounts) and transferring existing CDT finance staff to Isosceles, the transition to an outsourced accounting service had a soft landing
  • Senior finance staff could continue to work on-site in the same way that they always had
  • The ability to reduce transaction processing costs by utilising Isosceles’ shared service centre in Sheffield

We are delighted to have the opportunity to support CDT.
