BDO:
where insights equal success

BDO UK provides tax, accounting and business advisory services to small businesses, helping them simplify important financial information to harness the best opportunities available to them. It’s a mission that resonates deeply with us at Workflowmax and Xero! 

In this pursuit, the team at BDO UK recently launched a new platform called BDODrive. Underpinned by the latest cloud technology, BDODrive is transforming the delivery of accounting services and helping companies of all sizes with their day-to-day pressures.  Whether businesses need help with bookkeeping, payroll and tax, or want advice to build a clear vision and avoid common pitfalls that derail success, BDODrive can help.

Increasingly, faster and more in-depth information is wanted by invested parties so they can free up time to really work on developing their businesses. As such, a wide range of tech options now exists within the market to fulfil this need, leaving the decision of which to choose particularly daunting.

In order to truly help their clients, BDODrive needs a clear and concise insight into how their clients operate. Up to date information eliminates the reliance on historical data meaning you can plan for the future. In order to fill the data void, they have partnered with WorkflowMax and Xero to bring everything together in one simple and easy-to-navigate space. 

“It gives us better quality information on our clients so we can really help them,” says Katherine.

If anyone knows the great benefits Workflowmax brings to their clients, it’s Matt Greely. As a business analyst at BDODrive, Matt’s role sees him working first hand with clients to set them up with the right tools and technology to grow their businesses.

“I took a real interest in WorkflowMax after helping several internal teams at BDO implement the software,” says Matt. “I’m a systems and processes guy, so naturally I saw the value in being able to offer a service to help my clients improve their own project profitability, with job costing, time tracking, invoicing integration, etcetera. Being able to extract reliable data and critical business insights out of the reports feature is also a draw card.”

But the benefits aren't only client-facing.

“Our internal teams have seen the benefits in being able to schedule work, record time and manage capacity, which always gives great visibility over what the team needs to deliver – it’s invaluable,” says Matt.

“Using these powerful tools has enabled us to view our own financial profitability and workflows. And through this process we’ve become experts at helping our clients to see the advantages of moving their operations to the cloud,” says Katherine.

WorkflowMax has helped BDODrive optimise job costing, integrate their billing and enhance the way they capture and track time. Being an all-in-one job management software, it is online and accessible from anywhere, meaning that BDODrive has all the details they could ever need, at any time.

“One of the key things is the fact that we have such great account managers at both Xero and WorkflowMax. It’s helped us to help our clients to build real inroads into a digital future.” 

Like many of our implementation partners, BDO has in-depth experience in the implementation and support of WorkflowMax and Xero for clients including architects, IT consultants, construction management, and marine services.
