Enabling growth and saving cost
High growth
SMEs
We help SMEs achieve the operational efficiencies and insight to scale up or take advantage of opportunity, whilst minimising their risk or capital investment.
From quickly deployed automated solutions that deal with increases to volume, to a fully managed finance team that can free up cashflow with extraordinary performance reporting and insight.

Cashflow? Volume? What is restricting your ability to scale up quickly?
Scaling up comes with many challenges, such as accessing consistent cashflow, enabling productivity drivers and maintaining customer experience.
Many of the business systems or transactional processes that were suitable for a small business won’t work when volumes increase. For example manual invoice processing and cash allocation may significantly restrict your cashflow if you’re unable to process higher volumes quickly and accurately. Technology and automated systems can improve productivity and enable volume, but the necessary cashflow or capital investment may not be viable.
Likewise recruiting or training staff and maintaining excellent levels of service may prove difficult in times of growth or expanded operations. Frequently businesses may also need access to ad hoc expertise or load bearing as their needs change.
Your Finance team may also inadvertently be restricting your ability to take advantage of opportunity. Or they may be exposing you to unseen risk. Full visibility and easy access to real time data and specialised knowledge becomes vital for growth. But this maybe difficult with certain legacy systems or with integration of multiple platforms as you grow. Or simply you may not be able to justify the headcount of specialists.
Compliance to changing HMRC mandates or sector regulation can also restrict growth and expose SMEs to risk. This can be compounded by mistakes from manual processes that buckle under increased volume.
The need to be as efficient and productive as possible is vital for growth, but it can be very complex, especially as requirements may change in different stages of growth. Agile, long term experts that solve these issues and are with you for the journey are crucial, and exactly what we offer you at Parseq.

If you expand to multiple sites or increase users, we can help you access and share documents more easily with our Online Image Repository. All your documents (paper or digital) will be scanned and indexed and readily searchable and accessible to you 24/7 on a secure, central online location.
We can also take the burden out of producing management accounts, especially if you have complex or multiple accounts. We can produce it weekly or monthly with full transactional history, ensuring everything is compliant. With our Management Accounts service you can get a consistent view of all your accounts irrelevant of software platform to get a real time complete picture. You can also have access to an extraordinary level of performance reporting, with customisable KPIs, budgeting and forecasting tools via our secure portal, so you can take advantage of opportunity and better minimise risk.
