Founded with a vision to revolutionise IT Finance, our story began with a shared commitment to empower businesses through innovative solutions and unwavering dedication
Positive8 was founded in 2005 by John Urquhart. Coming from backgrounds in both IT and Finance we soon realised
the array of challenges between the two.
Using our extensive knowledge, we evolved Positive8 to address these challenges and to focus on key areas;
Accounting Processes, Systems, Data, Analysing and Reporting.
We started to build a team of consultants who are experts in IT and Finance, and we have all grown together into
who we are today “System Accountants”.
