Running an efficient finance function for mid-market organisations with App of the Month iplicit

As your client's organisation grows, their finance department can become less efficient.

The processes and technology that once served them well can become unwieldy and unsustainable. Staff often find themselves bogged down in data entry, while producing meaningful reports becomes painfully complex and time-consuming.

In this webinar, Matt Lewns, Partner Manager at iplicit, Luke Quince, UK Head of Digital Delivery Services at Azets, and Will Farnell, Founder and Director of Farnell Clarke Limited, will discuss the challenges that face a finance team and how we can help clients to address them.

Luke specialises in achieving efficiency for clients through digital transformation. He has worked in accountancy practices since 2008 and is a PRINCE2 qualified project manager. He is among the interviewees in iplicit’s guide Change Is Coming: 7 Key Trends in Finance Software You Need to Know About.

Will is the author of The Digital Firm and The Human Firm. He founded the award-winning accountancy firm Farnell Clarke and speaks regularly about how accountants can leverage technology to grow their practices.

Will and Luke will be joined by Matt Lewns, iplicit’s Partner Manager, who leads the company’s work with accountancy practices serving mid-market clients.

The webinar will cover:

• The inefficiencies that blight a finance team as an organisation grows

• Why throwing more apps at the problem may not be the solution

• How technology can do many of your routine tasks, allowing you to focus on higher-value work

• How to review your processes before choosing new software

• How to transform your organisation with better data.
