AT A GLANCE

Cost savings in excess of 50%.

Using QXAS, our client were able to:

  • Seamlessly integrate all their accounting systems for better workflow management.
  • Keep business and contractor clients up to date with latest HMRC legislation changes.
  • Developed a reporting structure for timely delivery of data and reports.

The challenge

Our client operates from an office in central London and their main concern was on practice growth and space management. They wanted their staff to add value to their current clients and to grow the business organically through cross selling and referrals but they were already unable to meet deadlines and produce accounts on schedule during peak periods to an ever expanding client base.

The physical office limitations dictating the inability to expand and hire more staff was having a direct adverse impact on their business and revenue generation. They needed to identify a solution which would enable them to achieve their ambitions while minimising expenditure and at the same time make their practice more efficient.

How we helped

We undertook and in depth study of their systems and document procedures and produced a detailed plan outlining all the tasks. After careful consideration the client outsourced their complete accounting process to QX Accounting Services. This decision firstly allowed their staff to concentrate on business development and client retention activities; and secondly, provided the additional resources they required at a lower cost base and without the physical office space and associated overheads. The transition focused on a number of areas which included:

Services delivered

We not only delivered a service which enabled the client to meet the previously missed deadlines but also streamlined the process and work flow which has improved profitability.
