How befree Transformed Tax Planning & Operations for a UK Accounting Firm

Client Overview

  • Since 2004, our client has been a trusted UK accounting firm, helping businesses and individuals strengthen their financial security through expert tax planning strategies.
  • They offer corporate tax planning solutions, including pension utilisation and strategic investments, enabling businesses to optimise tax liabilities and build financial independence.

Business Need

  • As the client’s business grew, they were finding it challenging to keep up with the growing demands of managing client needs.
  • They were looking for a solution that could not only keep pace with their expansion but also ensure the highest level of accuracy and meet crucial deadlines.
  • Managing multiple software subscriptions for record-keeping and account filing was costly and inefficient.
  • Moreover, their reliance on compact working papers made it difficult to extract key insights efficiently, adding unnecessary complexity to their workflow.

befree's Solution

Based on the client’s requirements, we implemented the 3 full-time resource model, where 2 qualified professionals were assigned exclusively for the finalisation of the accounts and 1 tech-savvy personnel to handle all the admin work on their behalf.
With this resource model, befree delivered:
  • Streamlined Software Integration: We upgraded the client’s record-keeping and tax filing systems, consolidating bookkeeping, VAT, and tax returns into a single, efficient software platform.
  • Advanced Working Paper System: We introduced the befree Working Paper, a comprehensive tool that provided the client with critical analysis and insights to support their tax planning efforts.
  • Proactive Client Support: Through weekly check-ins, we empowered the client to confidently reassess priorities and manage their workflow, ensuring they could meet both internal and client expectations effectively.
  • Monthly Management Reports: We delivered detailed reports each month, tracking the progress of jobs received and completed. This enabled the client to analyse performance and make data-driven decisions for future workflow planning.
