Their objective is to help their clients be more profitable.
The Challenge
Duncan Lloyd, Director at Cloudaccountant.com, wanted to consolidate companies for group reporting for their big clients with confidence the reports were accurate. Additionally, he needed to be able to train his remote team effortlessly on software with minimal disruption to services.
“We didn’t know what financial insight we could get until we started using Reach”
The Solution
By implementing Reach Reporting, Duncan was able to increase accuracy and save measurable amounts of time in consolidations with large clients. Rolling it out to his team was as simple as 10 minutes of instruction due to the familiar excel-like functionality. Editing and producing reports and creating metrics was so intuitive for the team to pick up there was little to no disruption during implementation.

Familiar excel-like Functionality
They created standard templates that they use for their clients designed specifically around Profit First and then they build on them according to the clients’ specific needs.
Summary
“It’s really helped us with our Profit First reporting and with our group reporting, and that’s helped us get more clients since. We have increased our profitability.
We were able to take on 2 chunky clients so far this year that we probably wouldn’t have been able to take on if it wasn’t for the time we’ve saved using Reach.
It’s definitely time-saving. Because we are not having to change every chart, we just change the month-end date, and away we go producing a report for clients saving us 25% percent of the time it took before. It’s a chunky amount. Just massive. That’s what we sell is our time, so the more we can make it efficient, the better.”
