174 | UK Enterprise Awards 2020 Best Business Support & Bookkeeping Company 2020 Support for businesses can be hard to find, especially in the financial sector. For the team who make up Shmunky LLP, providing an exceptional service is the bare minimum. They aim to create a benchmark for other businesses, allowing everyone in the industry to benefit. We take a closer look at the team in this special edition of SME News, to see how they’ve achieved such towering heights of success. Jun20344 Good bookkeeping is a vital part of business success, but many SMEs require support to ensure that the work they do is to the correct standard. This is where the team at Shmunky LLP come in, able to provide a premium service that promotes best practice. What Shmunky LLP offers to clients is more than a service, it is in fact a partnership. The team’s areas of interest are two-fold, focusing mainly on bookkeeping and business support. This allows the team to concentrate on a specific area that affects a broad range of industries. Many businesses have been able to benefit from their unique insight into the financial workings of an organisation, taking advantage of the team’s decision to put the personal touch first and foremost. The benefits of outsourcing come from engaging a specialist team to handle work while saving the costs of having to undertake the tasks in house. Each business requires different areas of expertise and the team at Shmunky LLP are able to ensure that the needs of the client are met. They can take on extra work when demand is high, or provide an extra set of eyes on important reports. With a small team at the heart of the business, clients have found that they are able to work with the same person every time, ensuring quick and easy integration. What sets Shmunky LLP apart is its ability to become a part of a client’s teams. This means aiming for more than a paycheque at the end of the month, and looking longer term for satisfaction. The team understand how their clients’ businesses work intimately, which gives them an advantage over the competition. The Shmunky LLP team pride themselves on being able to implement a program of continuous improvement in processes, which benefits all. On more than one occasion, they have been described as a solutions provider. Many businesses have come to realise that cloud-accounting and virtual working is the way forward, but COVID-19 has accelerated that process tremendously. Shmunky LLP is a virtual business through and through, championing a remote attitude to business. Because the team operates through the internet, Shmunky LLP has been able to work with clients from across the UK. This has given them a great deal of experience that can be passed down to businesses, including the ability to tailor the cloud-accounting process to a language that any client can understand. One of the ambitions of the firm is to explore ways in which new software can transform the financial industry. The Shmunky LLP team are currently partway through the development of a sophisticated financial dashboard. When completed, this will give business owners a clearer understanding of their cashflow and business finances. Needless to say, this approach has already taken on a dynamic approach thanks to the use of Google Dashboard. The success of this venture has already inspired the Shmunky LLP team to develop further solutions in the area. While there are many apps on the market that can do this work in the broadest sense, they do not adapt to specific businesses easily.
