We spoke with co-founder and CEO of Digiryte, Ramesh Raja to find out more about the company, how Blu Sky currently support and plans for future work together.
Hi Ramesh, tell us about Digiryte.
We’re a leading software consultancy based in Manchester and we’re building next generation applications and digital products to help businesses thrive.
Digiryte support enterprises with digital transformation and offer three key services, team augmentation, pods and product development. We work with the top 5% of premium talent in India to deliver our services.
We are proud to work with a range of clients from varying sectors including, start-up’s, healthcare, retail and e-commerce, finance and education.
What challenges were you looking for support with?
Digiryte received a really great recommendation from a contact, so we decided to research and make contact with Blu Sky.
As a co-founder who’s navigating the start-up to scale up journey, I have a variety of challenges, so I wanted a team that specialises in supporting businesses like mine.
We wanted to work with accountants who used newer tech and software than our existing platforms at the time, and Blu Sky definitely fit that brief.
I also liked the fact that they help with more than the standard accounting services. For example they offer forecasting, future planning and equity funding application support, as this is something I will need to look at in the future.
What was the solution?
The Blu Sky team introduced us to Xero and migrated us across with ease. They now help with the day-to-day accounting solutions, VAT, bookkeeping, tax returns and regular advisory meetings. Using cloud accounting means I can see my numbers in real-time which is really valuable as a business owner.
I can check in with my Client Relationship Director on a regular basis, which helps me keep the team up to date with what’s happening here at Digiryte and receive guidance when needed.
What’s been the result of your work together so far?
The team are helping me submit my first R&D claim. They’ve given clear guidance and will handle the process for me, which means I’m able to focus on other aspects of my business.
We don’t have a financial controller, instead Blu Sky fill the gap, and we have access to the whole team’s expertise and guidance which is really useful when we have questions – which we often do!
Xero is a great platform to use and we’re pleased we have such in depth expertise and guidance from Blu Sky on how to make the most of it. The team are very friendly and supportive, which is a real benefit when you’re a business owner who has lots of other responsibilities.
We benefit from regular reminders, deadline extensions when needed, and even support tackling the sudden challenges and changes that happen when running a business.
Want to know if Blu Sky can support your business?
If your business needs assistance with migration to Xero or building an internal accounting system, we’d love to help!
