With Symphony’s expertise, we’ve now got a complete holistic overview of clients and potential prospects. The integrated system has not only allowed us to centralise solutions, providing full visibility across the entire practice, but also to develop systematic automation to some key compliance processes and repetitive tasks positioning us as consultative rather than compliance based. Symphony had a great understanding of our business and intimate knowledge of the key systems used within the practice. Therefore, they were able to provide a truly tailored solution. Their team’s willingness to work with the practice to arrive at outcomes tailored to our requirements and being prepared to start the process without having all the answers and then invest the time in finding them is second to none.
Over the last sixteen years we have relied on Symphony to be a knowledgeable, flexible and valuable sounding board, acting as a catalyst for many of our investment decisions. Our recent strategy workshop, facilitated by Brian Coventry, enabled us to align our IT strategy directly with our business development strategy, setting both context and prioritisation for all stakeholders within the business to understand.
Symphony - APS have been a supplier of Mazars for over 10 years, I personally have worked with them for the past 3 years and we have a strong, productive relationship. The Symphony team have worked with us on a number of strategic initiatives particularly regarding integration of systems. The most recent project, delivering an integration between our CRM solution and Practice Management, has helped us to reduce processing times and improve SLAs on production of matter codes. Their experience and understanding of our business, coupled with their knowledge of emerging technologies and how they can be applied to the challenges we face is of real benefit the firm and to me with the transformational objectives of my role.
Chantrey Vellacott had a long and well established business relationship with APS. So when the Firm initiated a strategic business transformation plan, a critical part of this was the identification and purchase of an appropriate Client Relationship Management system, to which Symphony became our natural choice. To hit our key objectives in the project we required complete compatibility with our Practice Management System, along with a consistent data collection, management and reporting capability. This then allowed us as part of the bigger strategy to put in place a robust framework to introduce and deliver clear sales processes across the firm. The full development of our customised version of Symphony was challenging, but the journey was made seamless by our professional working partnership with Symphony - APS.

In the September issue of PortrAIT magazine, we provide the AIT accounting firm members with insight into the need to review data management processes and the quality of the data that CRM and practice management systems store.

Accounting firms across the world face a constant challenge with gathering, maintaining and enhancing their client and prospect data – regardless of the systems they use. Chand Chudasama, Partner in the Strategic Corporate Finance team and Marketing Partner at Price Bailey had to solve the challenge of getting to the heart of the data he knew the accounting firm held.
