Westboro Partners is a leading provider of financial solutions to individuals, indigenous and multinational organisations across a wide variety of industries for over 30 years. Westboro Partners provides audit, taxation and corporate services as well as advice in the areas of insolvency, forensic accounting, pensions, funding & international operational support.

"In 2016, Westboro merged with another business which also involved integrating two IT systems into one. This was a complex and potentially messy proposition. For the type of business we are in, it was crucial that no data was lost. This was due to the potential reputation damage it would cause to our business as well as the the knock on effects it would have for our own clients. However, WAVE IT took on the task and excelled by ensuring there was a smooth transfer overnight. We were extremely please by the service provided and would highly recommend them."
