Customer case study – BKL streamlines Accounts Production with Silverfin

BKL, is a single-office accounting practice based in North London with 230 staff and ranked 48 in the UK. The firm adopted Silverfin’s cloud accounting compliance platform to address challenges such as data entry duplication and inconsistent client file standards.

“For BKL, the three main advantages of using Silverfin are standardisation, systemisation and time-saving.” Jason Appel, Partner, BKL

The primary goal at BKL was to bring together their different teams into one system with one set of processes and a single source of truth.

“We had separate outsourcing and Accounts Production teams, and we wanted to bring them together and make them more efficient. We needed to look for a way to have one point of truth and also to input data only once and have it flow through the system. Silverfin has enabled us to do that,” explains Jason.

With Silvefin, BKL’s team only has to input data once and have it flow seamlessly throughout the entire system – removing the need to cut and paste or export data between different software packages.

DRIVING EFFICIENCIES IN DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS

Silverfin empowers BKL to establish one way of working across all teams, ensuring consistency across different sectors and boosting overall efficiency. The platform has also resulted in tangible time savings during day-to-day tasks.

With many of their clients using Xero, bookkeeping data is pulled through automatically into Silverfin, pre-populating the different schedules that need to be completed to produce the year-end accounts.

“One particularly notable time-saving occurred with a set of accounts that previously took around 25 hours in 2021. However, in 2022, the same task only took 12 and a half hours! This substantial timesaving is solely attributable to the use of Silverfin schedules.” Hollie Moore, BKL Manager
