Drawing from a decade of experience in business innovation, both locally and internationally, Scope is strategically expanding its services to Cyprus, with operations headquartered in the capital city of Nicosia.

This move is set to reinforce Scope’s standing as a global leader in SaaS cloud accounting solutions, underscoring its commitment to empowering businesses and accounting firms in the digital age.

Given Cyprus’ similarities to Malta in terms of size, culture, and maturity, Scope’s co-founders, Brian Ferris and Neville Micallef, conducted a reconnaissance trip to the island in early 2023. Following their visit, they were convinced of the market’s readiness and the opportunities it presented for Scope to make a positive impact on local accounting firms and businesses. This insight inspired their decision to expand Scope’s operations into Cyprus, marking a significant milestone in the company’s journey of global growth and impact.

Starting Point

During this initial visit, Scope connected with Barry lacovou, Head of Cloud Accounting Services at BDO Cyprus, and the driving force behind the firm’s innovative solutions. Recognising a shared ambition to further drive cloud adoption on the island, Barry decided to join Scope in April 2024, as Country Director for Cyprus. As a Chartered Accountant with over 20 years of experience, gleaned from senior executive roles in both industry and practice, Barry is perfectly equipped to lead Scope’s initiatives in the region, driving forward the company’s mission to provide innovative cloud solutions tailored to the needs of local accounting practices and businesses alike.

Moving Cyprus to the Cloud

Commenting on the expansion, Brian Ferris remarks: “Each step in Scope’s journey is taken with a lot of thought and careful consideration. Through our experience in Cyprus and meeting Barry, we saw the potential for us to make a real difference. Our unique business model, which is focused on tailoring a comprehensive suite of apps and solutions for each client, really sets us apart in this market. Early conversations with business owners have been promising, and we’re confident we can replicate our success in Malta and Dubai to address their specific challenges, ensuring they harness the full potential of cloud accounting to their advantage.”

Embracing Innovation

Recently celebrating over a decade in the industry, Scope has earned a reputation for its innovative approach to SaaS cloud computing solutions, including becoming an official Xero Ambassador Partner – a first of its kind worldwide. Armed with a suite of over 100 integrated apps and solutions that connect seamlessly with their array of leading cloud accounting partners like Xero, QuickBooks, generate.TAX, and Zoho, Scope is primed to assist the finance profession in Cyprus with their most pressing challenges. This approach is all part of Scope’s unique business model, which is designed to scale with each client’s trajectory, ensuring that businesses receive the right fit solutions for their continued growth, every step of the way.

Let’s Level Up!

Barry shares his excitement for Scope’s vision in the market, saying: “When I first met Brian and Neville, it was immediately apparent that we spoke the same language and shared a deep passion for delivering impact through cloud solutions. Getting to know the team has been a pleasure, and I’m thrilled to be an official Scoper, heading up their Cyprus operations. We believe this is an opportunity to do much more than digitalise businesses. We’re all about moving the needle in the market to truly help businesses unlock their full potential through the flexibility and customisation of cloud adoption. I look forward to connecting with business owners and finance professionals to explore how we can support them to level up their operations.”
