Thinc, a leading provider of IT services to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), is opening in Toronto, its first international location.

Headquartered in Manchester, and with offices in Newcastle and Cranfield, Thinc has more than 30 years of experience in helping SMEs to transform and scale their financial management and operations, equipping them with technology solutions and support services for their business.

With a ‘connect, collaborate, amplify' ethos, Thinc's goal is to help its clients become ‘intelligent companies', where technology works in harmony with people and processes, achieved through holistic solutions and a lasting partnership built on getting to know a client's business.

Thinc has deep expertise in solutions that scale with companies as they grow, whether through ERP and finance solutions that simplify multi-entity operations, or managed services delivered across multiple locations. This expansion not only demonstrates to clients an international recognition of its services, but also is further evidence that Thinc is the IT partner that understands and can guide their journey as a growing SME.

"We're hugely excited, and honoured, to be beginning this chapter of Thinc's journey in Toronto. Like many of our customers, we are a company focused on growth, and it made complete sense to us to bring Thinc to Canada. SMEs are the bedrock of Canadian industry, just as they are in the UK, and we can't wait to start building lasting relationships with ambitious businesses in Toronto and beyond."

Dominic Ball, Managing Director, Thinc

Thinc worked closely on the launch with Toronto Global, a not-for-profit investment attraction agency that supports the expansion of foreign-owned businesses to the Toronto Region. The team will be joining the community at MaRS Waterfront, one of Toronto's most innovative tech hubs and home to a host of start-ups and innovators.

For Canada's scale-ups, Thinc's arrival represents the opportunity to engage with an IT services provider that has developed a broad understanding of the challenges, roles and functions across all sectors – from manufacturing to non-profits.

"As a thriving tech hub, home to so much talent and growing businesses, Toronto was the only contender when it came to deciding on Thinc's next move. We're a business that's serious about technology, but only as long as it serves the real needs of people. All our success in the UK comes from our honesty, transparency and independence – qualities that we know are held dear by Canadian people. It's exactly where we want to be."

Richard Stathers, Operations Director, Thinc

Representatives will be attending a range of technology and vertical-focused events in Toronto over the course of the year. In its core UK market, Thinc continues its mission to build lasting relationships with ambitious SMEs, providing independent and impartial advice on technologies that can empower their people.

The opening in Canada is supported by the multinational enterprise software company Sage, whose technologies are a core part of Thinc's offering. Thinc is deeply trusted as an official Sage Intacct Partner and has been rated as its number-one partner for service excellence.

"We're delighted to see Thinc's arrival as a provider of Sage Intacct Financial Management solutions in the Canadian market. As the leader in accounting, financial, HR and payroll technology for small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs), we only work with partners who operate at that same high standard we set for ourselves. Thinc has established itself as a partner that truly understands the SME market in the UK – and we're confident that they can bring the same trusted, expert service to scale-ups across Canada."

David Rumer, Area Vice President, Canadian Partners and Strategic Alliances, Sage
