Your team’s compensation, leave, KiwiSaver, and payments made to the IRD can be tricky to handle. If you take care of these matters within a small team at once each week, it can take hours of vital time each month. If you use an old payroll system with poor reporting or send emails and check spreadsheets over the course of a month, it can take even more time.
A new way requires only 2 hours per month and allows the team to access their pay information and apply for leave from their smartphones.

Let’s catch see how the new way can help you. Book a call to get started: https://calendly.com/andycblog/30min

In the last week, I’ve worked with three different clients who were using spreadsheets to manage their business processes. It’s not unusual for me to see this in my consulting work, but it doesn’t have to be this way. One client, Neal, was spending 12 hours a week managing his job process using spreadsheets. With some new technology—connecting his team together with an app—he was able to save on average 1720 hours over five years.

So be like Neal book a call here - https://calendly.com/andycblog/30min - and let’s discover how we can save you time, money and stress!

This is a very common problem, often it goes undetected.

Using spreadsheets to manage important parts of your business can be dangerous. ⚠️

Every week I see an example of where an error in a sheet provides the wrong information that creates poor decisions and breakdowns in key processes. A recent client was using three different spreadsheets to manage his job process before we met. One for quotes, one for the job numbers and one for the scheduling.

This old way of running his business was starting to frustrate him and he knew there must be a better way. Under the old way, he now spends 12 hours per week managing the job process.

You can easily save yourself time as well, book a call here to find out more - https://calendly.com/andycblog/30min

Paying your team on time, the correct amount, managing leave, KiwiSaver and IRD can be a painful and time-consuming exercise.

Greg’s organisation employs 6 staff and 3 contractors, the old way, worked using emails, spreadsheets for leave and timesheets, an old payroll system with poor reporting and it took 9 hours a month plus heaps of time before the annual shut down.

The new way takes 2 hours per month and uses new technology so the team can access their pay information and apply for leave on their phones.

The new way saves 470 hours over 5 years.
Would you like to save 470 hours and be less stressed about Payroll?
