Streamlining the Back Office for a Fast-Growing Media Intelligence Platform

Challenge

Streem provides a media intelligence platform that helps businesses monitor and analyse coverage across print, TV, radio, online news and social media. Rapid growth saw the company expand to more than 600 corporate and government customers.

As the business scaled and became part of Intelligence Group Worldwide, its finance operations grew increasingly complex across multiple systems and processes. While the team managed these demands effectively, there was an opportunity to improve efficiency and reduce administrative workload.

The priority was clear: streamline back-end operations, simplify research and development compliance, and partner with a trusted provider to manage ongoing compliance. This enabled the internal team to focus on strategic reporting, business performance, and supporting the company’s continued growth.

Solution

• Delivered a comprehensive, streamlined back-end operational approach that reduced the time required from Streem employees and management.

• Helped Streem identify the real value drivers across the business.

• Took on tax compliance, end-of-year journals and ongoing financial reporting.

• Managed much of Streem’s compliance, especially during particularly busy periods.

• Provided a Sydney-based partner with global backing, available on-site or remotely as needed.

Client Benefits & Advantages

• Back-end operations streamlined, with less time required from Streem’s team and management.

• The real value drivers across the business identified and prioritised.

• Ongoing tax compliance, end-of-year journals and financial reporting handled by a trusted partner.

• Inter-organisational flexibility, with the partnership complementing existing roles within the team.

• Peace of mind across the organisation, with compliance kept in line during busy periods.

• The internal team freed to focus on high-level reporting and strategic growth.
