The Genwise 
Approach

Solution

Genwise analyzed Drilldown Solution (DDS) holistically to uncover the biggest headaches facing the firm. We then processed engineered tailored solutions to have the most impact. We scoped and implemented process improvements and custom software solutions to connect disparate systems. 

 

Accounting Automation Approach:

We wanted to create a dynamic team environment where employees are motivated, and business goals are achieved. We created a comprehensive business assessment, held weekly meetings to train the DDS team, and implemented native and custom accounting automation solutions.

 

We used the knowledge gathered during our swimlane process to identify areas for improvement that would have the biggest impact at DDS. We introduced automation into their task-tracking system using Canopy, a document collection process with Soraban, and designed a no-code document syncing system to improve document management.

 

Technology Improvements:

From our findings, we implemented various accounting technology improvements at DDS, including:

 

  • Soraban Integration:
    The migration to Soraban streamlined document management, resulting in improved document access, organization, and access to client information.

 

  • Canopy Implementation:
    Genwise introduced Canopy to automate workflows, invoicing, and billing.

 

  • Calendly Scheduling Automation:
    Partners at DDS were equipped with Calendly for efficient engagement with new leads and client meetings.

 

  • ActiveCampaign Automation:
    Genwise implemented ActiveCampaign for data collection, email marketing campaigns, and pipeline management.

 

  • Microsoft Workspaces:
    Workspace tools help the DDS team stay organized with calendar events and important files.

 

  • Onboarding Automation:
    Genwise implemented an automated process to convert new leads and manage new client onboarding.
     

Process Improvements:

We implemented the following automation solutions to improve processes and productivity at DDS:

 

  • Tax Organizers:
    We created separate smart tax organizers for businesses and individuals using Soraban to streamline the DDS tax return process. Then, we built automations to export all client documents to their document management systems.

​​

  • Tax Return Workflows:
    Enhanced workflows were implemented to capture high-end processes of tax returns.

 

  • Swimlanes Optimization:
    We used swimlanes to engineer critical process improvements and communicate responsibilities and roles within the DDS team to maximize employee productivity.

Results

The key takeaway from the various accounting automation processes we implemented is that DDS doubled their output. This enabled scalability within DDS and will lead to higher profits and revenues in the future. By using accounting automation and technology enhancements, we helped DDS overcome their challenges and double their productivity and output.
