Struggling to find work-life balance? You’re not alone!
But what if you could have a thriving accounting firm without sacrificing weekends or personal time? That’s exactly what this Tax and Accounting organization achieved with Stratefix Consulting.
How to streamline your business in just 3 steps?
Mahesh Dudhat & Co., a leading tax consultancy firm in Surat, Gujarat, India, faced a common challenge: overworked staff, unclear processes, and a lack of growth. Here’s how Stratefix team helped their tax and accounting consultants transform their business:
Challenge 1: Weekend Warriors - Working Around the Clock
Did you know the accounting industry in India is experiencing a massive talent shortage? ([Source: ET]) This puts immense pressure on existing staff, leading to burnout and inefficiency. Mahesh Dudhat & Co. was no exception.
“We used to work long hours, even on Sundays and festivals,” says Mahesh Dudhat, Founder & CEO of Mahesh Dudhat & Co. “There was no work-life balance because there was no system for tracking work or managing time.”
Solution: Building a Dream Team with an HR Department
Stratefix understood Mahesh’s pain point. The first step? Establishing a dedicated HR department. This department streamlined processes, reduced manual work, and implemented clear leave and attendance policies.
Impact: Happier employees! A well-managed HR system fosters a positive work environment, leading to increased productivity and reduced employee turnover. Did you know happy employees are 12% more productive? (Source: UW) That’s a win-win for everyone!
Challenge 2: The Hiring Hustle - Finding and Retaining the Right Talent
Finding qualified accountants is a national challenge. Currently, India needs 30 lakh chartered accountants (CAs) by 2047 to meet its economic goals. (President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), Ranjeet Kumar Agarwal sharing his vision: ET) Mahesh Dudhat & Co. needed a system to find and retain top talent.
Solution: Streamlining the Hiring Process
Stratefix implemented a standardized hiring process for accountants, auditors, bookkeepers, CPA, and Income tax consultants in the chartered accountant firm. This included clear job descriptions, efficient interview procedures, and a well-defined onboarding program.
In a recent study by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) found that companies with a structured onboarding program experience new hire productivity increase by 20% in their first year!
Impact: Finding the right people, onboarding and retention with a clear growth roadmap for the employees became easier! A structured hiring process attracts qualified candidates and ensures a smooth transition for new employees.
Challenge 3: Unorganized Chaos - Lack of Structure and Systems
Many businesses operate without clear systems or Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This leads to confusion, wasted time, and inconsistent results. Mahesh’s financial accounting agency needed a way to operate more efficiently.
Solution: Implementing Systems and SOPs
Stratefix worked with the CPAs to create SOPs for every task and project. This included clear guidelines for accounting practices, client communication, and performance review system.
Think of SOPs as a recipe for success! They ensure everyone is on the same page, leading to increased accuracy, efficiency and client satisfaction. A study by Aberdeen Group found that companies with standardized processes achieve customer satisfaction rates 10% higher than their competitors.
Impact: Clockwork precision! Defined SOPs ensured all the chartered accountants are on the same page, leading to increased accuracy, efficiency, and client satisfaction.
Bonus: Performance on Autopilot – Stratefix's 360° Approach
Stratefix implemented a 360-degree performance management system for bookkeeping, Quickbooks and Auditors at Mahesh’s chartered accountant agency. This new system provides feedback from colleagues, managers, and even clients, leading to continuous improvement of the overall organization.
Impact: Empowered employees! A well-designed performance management system motivates staff and helps them reach their full potential.
