Why Workbooks CRM is ideal for growing accountancy businesses

New business growth

Growing accountancy firms need enterprise-level insights to attract and retain new clients. CRM for accounting supports your executives to efficiently target and nurture their prospects, with dedicated market segmentation and monitoring tools. Track all interactions, stay abreast of sales progress, and measure individual performance against business development KPIs.

Cross-selling opportunities
  • While developed accountancy businesses are uniquely placed to leverage a wealth of historical financial data, growing firms have fewer insights at their fingertips. CRM software for accountants changes this — providing one-stop visibility of which services have been sold to clients, where cross-selling opportunities lay, and the next steps for progress. This provides a route for new strategy and growing your practice.
Renewed operational efficiency

Over the past decade of digital transformation, many firms have turned to CRM accounting software to streamline their processes and minimize downtime. Accounting managers lose time and opportunities to missed leads, waylaid data and overall poor contact management — but these inefficiencies are eliminated by CRM accounting software. This provides a single hub for contact management and fostering new models of business development.

"Workbooks makes it easy - it's a very intuitive piece of software that's very easily tailored, once you've had the training to do that. Once you understand your own data flow, and understand that you've got to build process into all of this, it's a very straightforward process."
