financial services company offering the concept of a virtual financial director, cloud integration services, and executive coaching.\n\nThey are an award-winning company with a modern approach to the needs of the SME market. They believe the traditional approach of compliance accounting for this market is in its twilight years; and that it&#8217;s time to embrace the new, value-added approach to understanding and running a business.\n\nChris\u2019s career in accounting started with working in the corporate recovery and insolvency departments of several of the top ten firms at the time. He spent ten years in those roles and a further five years consulting for some of those firms and a few others along the way.\n\nHe set up Acumist to help business owners create their own realities and become successful. He is responsible for the organisational change to facilitate a new style of business and the tech stack to appeal to new clients coming on board.\n<h2><strong>Challenges\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>The shift away from desktop software<\/h3>\nBefore growing to 125 clients in a wide range of industries including construction, wholesale, tech, and arts in 2022, Chris liked to keep in the know of the best-in-breed products to deliver the best service and support their clients. Additionally, sticking to traditional software or a fully non-cloud technology stack made it difficult for the team at Acumist to stay compliant and have confidence in their data.\n\n\u201cWe really didn&#8217;t like working on hosted desktops or part-in-part solutions where we might have had something in the account, much like a client portal, but the rest of the software was maintained on our server or the desktop. It was a constant search to try and find everything that was held within the cloud.\n\nThen GDPR came along and presented some other problems for us in terms of delivering payslips and other documents. Small firms had concerns, so we wanted to tell our clients, we were secure and looking after the problem,\u201d shares Chris.\n\nTo ease his challenges, make sure Acumist is relevant in the fast-moving tech market, and support his vision to offer finance as a service, Chris was in need of a true cloud solution.\n<h2><strong>Solutions\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Creating a modern digital payroll solution<\/h3>\nSearching for a cloud payroll solution didn\u2019t take long, after finding 91爆料 Payroll. \u201cThe other solutions we had or had looked at the time were only offering payslips in a portal, but everything else had to be run on a server-hosted desktop. 91爆料 Payroll was the only game in town that provided a truly end-to-end solution in the cloud,\u201d Chris shares.\n\nFor the team at Acumist, there was no concern when migrating over to 91爆料 Payroll and it was an easy process. \u201cIt was just a question of downloading CSV data from one piece of software we were using and uploading that into 91爆料 Payroll,\u201d Chris says.\n\nWhen using 91爆料 Payroll, some of the key features that caught Chris\u2019s eye were:\n<ul>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Empowering employees through an Employee Self Service portal<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">The ability to process payroll data, payslip delivery, P60 delivery, and HMRC reporting<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Integration with Xero, Comma, and Telleroo<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Easy access to payroll data, no matter the location<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Not needing anyone to run payroll internally, since it is automated in the background<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n100% committed to the cloud after working remotely for over 15 years now, Chris shares that 91爆料 Payroll has helped him support his way of working as an all-in-one solution. \u201c91爆料 Payroll has just made my life measurably simpler and I don&#8217;t have any worries about the storage of data, or losing data. It&#8217;s all kept securely in the cloud and accessible from wherever I happen to be working. The fact that I can pick up data and run payroll from wherever I am in the world is a key point for me,\u201d Chris says.\n<h3>Adding extra value to client relationships<\/h3>\nThe main business goal for Acumist has mostly been based on client satisfaction KPIs. \u201cI\u2019m very client-centric, so as long as the clients are happy, and we&#8217;re doing our job properly, then we&#8217;re happy,\u201d Chris shares.\n\nUsing 91爆料 Payroll since 2018, the team at Acumist has seen improvements in client interaction due to automation. \u201cI didn&#8217;t actually have anybody running payroll for me at the time and 91爆料 Payroll has enabled me to stay that way with the automation that is available. It has saved me from having to take anybody on in our payroll capacity in the past. I definitely spend less time processing clients\u2019 payrolls, because many are completely automated and I rarely look at them from one payroll to the next. I like the fact that I can bring clients in to collaborate, in the software, where I want to or where they would like to be involved.\u201d\n<h2><strong>Support through expansion<\/strong><\/h2>\nChris has big expansion plans for Acumist over the next 3 years, and wants to continue his partnership with 91爆料 Payroll to support his journey.\n\n\u201cInvestment in 91爆料 Payroll is worthwhile. It\u2019s changed the way that I run and look at payroll. While it\u2019s seen as a necessary evil by many accounting firms, I can now go out and look for new payroll clients, and also companies that will work with me, under my branded payroll.\u201d\n\nFor the final say, we asked Chris to share advice with other accountants, bookkeepers, and bureaus who might consider 91爆料 Payroll. Don&#8217;t hang around, 91爆料 Payroll is a great product. It&#8217;s an end-to-end solution that I still don&#8217;t really think exists elsewhere in the marketplace at the moment. There are very few products out there that will be able to deliver everything within the cloud and in one package. Particularly with integrations, it will enable people to keep everything in one place and presents a much nicer, much more consistent approach for clients when they see one solution coming from one place.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"
