Global Travel Network (GTN) is a New Zealand-owned buying group and air consolidator that gives independent travel agents the buying power, ticketing access, and supplier agreements normally reserved for larger agencies, plus after-hours support and negotiated rates that let agents stay independent while competing at scale.
Move the finance function from an external provider to an internal setup without disrupting day-to-day operations during the handover — requiring a resource able to manage AP, AR, and banking independently; handle month-end close on schedule every time; produce reporting accurate enough for real business decisions; and work autonomously while coordinating closely with GTN's existing finance team.
Execute a finance-function handover with zero disruption risk — no coverage gaps, no missed closes — while establishing a setup GTN's internal team could rely on long-term.
KDCI placed a dedicated General Accountant directly into GTN's finance operation covering the full function end to end (AP, AR, banking, month-end close), operating independently day-to-day while staying closely coordinated with GTN's internal team, standardizing transaction processing/reconciliation/reporting, and proactively flagging process improvements rather than just executing a fixed workflow. Work happens inside GTN's existing systems — On Account for core accounting, Edge for banking and supplier portal access.
1 x General Accountant, embedded directly into GTN's finance operation.
Since the transition, GTN's finance operations run accurately and on schedule, with the internal team freed from covering finance gaps and able to focus on growth instead.
Faster transaction processing across AP and AR, month-end closes completed on time consistently, and reporting reliable enough to support faster, more confident business decisions — with KDCI continuing as GTN's ongoing finance partner today.
"KDCI has quickly become one of our most trusted business partners. From the outset, they worked closely with us to develop a resourcing solution that was slightly outside the scope of traditional outsourcing models, yet perfectly addressed our needs. Their willingness to collaborate, combined with a strong alignment of values, made KDCI the clear choice as our resourcing partner. The team supporting us has consistently delivered an exceptional level of service, from onboarding through to day-to-day operations. Every task and responsibility entrusted to them has been embraced and executed to a very high standard. They continually go above and beyond to contribute to the success of our business. We are proud to consider KDCI a true extension of our team and look forward to continuing our successful partnership for years to come."
