How easy is it for your employees to collaborate effectively, within their own teams and across departments?
The way in which accountants, bookkeepers, and departments collaborate in accounting firms is evolving. Traditional methods of collaborating that worked well years ago might no longer be the best solution today.
Accountants aren’t best known for their collaborative skills, say in document management and organisational skills, as it amounts to a lot of wasted time, ultimately impacting employee productivity and billable utilisation. The good thing is that accountants are aware of this, and are trying to leverage change.
When client relationships are an integral part of your business, there needs to be transparency and efficient communication.
How can accountancy practices reach their full collaborative potential?
By future-proofing processes, records, and client relationships via:
- Full adoption of Teams for collaboration internally and externally
- Instant document management and sharing in the Cloud
- Integrated telephony to rid the old-fashioned desk phone
The modern workplace might seem daunting at first, presenting many challenges for teamwork. Remote workers. Off-site meetings. Flexible schedules. Rapid iteration. Multiple communication channels. A dozen ways to share files and information. But the beautiful thing about Microsoft Teams is that it brings this all together in once place with tools that make it easy to switch on the power of collaboration.
It's really working. Research reveals that employees engaged in collaboration report: higher engagement, less fatigue, and more success. The possibilities with collaboration are endless, and this is paving the way for a brighter and more mature future for a lot of firms.
Book a meeting and get an idea of how mature your practice is.
