  • Invoicing was labor-intensive, taking an entire day each month and increasing the likelihood of errors.

  • Accessing client information involved navigating multiple systems, slowing operations and frustrating staff.

  • Disparate systems caused delays and inaccuracies in profitability analysis, hindering timely decision-making.

With Wiise

  • Consolidated the management of multiple practices into a single system with Wiise, integrating Pryme Matters, payroll, and Microsoft 365, and ensuring real-time access to a single source of unified data.

  • Automated invoicing, reducing the time it took to process invoices from 8 hours to 30 minutes, saving 94% of the time previously spent.

  • Eliminated data silos, providing accurate, real-time insights to enhance confidence in decision-making.

  • Streamlined timesheet management, eliminating five days of administrative work each month.

CEO at Bentleys Tasmania

Over the past three years, Bentleys Tasmania has built on its legacy as a trusted accounting and advisory firm, growing revenue by 70% since 2021 and expanding to four offices across Tasmania and Indonesia.

Maintaining efficient operations at scale, however, was becoming a significant challenge. The business was relying on three separate practice management systems, requiring employees to maintain up to four timesheets for payroll and billing, and Robin had lost confidence in the accuracy of their figures.

The problem

Bentleys Tasmania struggled with inefficiencies caused by fragmented systems and manual processes.

Staff were required to manage up to four timesheets, resulting in up to five extra days each month spent on reconciliation tasks, while invoicing took an entire day to complete manually.

These challenges not only slowed operations but also frustrated staff and increased the risk of errors, making it difficult for the firm to scale effectively as it grew its client base.

"Fragmented systems slowed us down, added unnecessary administrative work, and made decision-making less confident. It was clear that we needed a better solution to support our growth." – Robin Allardyce, CEO, Bentleys Tasmania

Inconsistent data further eroded confidence in decision-making, delaying key business decisions and impacting operational efficiency.

Challenges

  • Fragmented systems: Staff managed up to four timesheets across three separate practice management systems, leading to inefficiencies and requiring up to five additional days per month for reconciliation and inter-entity billing. With data spread across multiple systems, there was no single source of truth, making it manual and time-consuming to aggregate information for reporting.
  • Manual, time-consuming processes: Invoicing was a labour-intensive process that took a full day each month to complete. Staff had to manually prepare invoices, print them, and either mail or email them to clients. The lack of automation not only made the process time-intensive but also increased the likelihood of errors, causing delays and inaccuracies in billing and cash flow.
  • Scalability and modernisation pressure: Outdated systems restricted the firm’s ability to scale efficiently, particularly as it took on larger, more complex clients and expanded to new offices, including an international location in Jakarta. The disconnected systems and lack of modern cloud technology also impacted employee satisfaction, creating challenges in attracting and retaining top talent while maintaining high standards of client service.
  • Inconsistent data: Financial and operational data were inconsistent across platforms, requiring significant time to validate and reconcile, which hindered leadership’s ability to accurately assess the business’s performance and make decisions.

The solution

Wiise has transformed Bentleys Tasmania's operations. Robin and the team now have:

  • A centralised system: Wiise replaced the fragmented practice management systems with a single, integrated platform that could be used for multiple offices. This eliminated the need for multiple timesheets and manual data reconciliation, saving up to five extra days of admin work per month. 
  • Automation of manual processes: Previously labour-intensive tasks like invoicing were transformed through automation. What used to take an entire day each month now takes just 30 minutes, reducing errors and freeing staff to focus on more strategic work. Automated reminders for unpaid invoices also reduced follow-up efforts and improved cash flow.
  • Improved accuracy and decision-making: With all financial and operational data consolidated into Wiise, the firm eliminated inconsistencies and delays in reporting. Real-time access to accurate data restored leadership’s confidence in decision-making and enabled more timely and informed business strategies.
  • Scalability and growth enablement: Wiise supported the complexity of servicing larger clients and expanding operations, including their new international office in Jakarta. In addition, adoption of cutting-edge technology reinforced the firm’s reputation as an industry innovator, helping attract top talent and deliver superior client service.
