I truly enjoyed how friendly and responsive our agents have been since their first day. It is a lot to learn and take every day. The agents always showed a willingness to learn. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Unity Communications could have done differently?

I have concerns regarding the accuracy of the weekly quality evaluation reports. The consistently high scores, often in the 90s, do not align with the actual ticket quality I've observed. I believe the current sampling method is insufficient, potentially overlooking tickets requiring improvement. To ensure a more accurate representation of agent performance, we should explore alternative evaluation methods that provide a comprehensive view of ticket quality within Unity.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Unity Communications?

I hired Unity Communications because I was looking for better accounting and bookkeeping solutions. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Unity Communications provides bookkeeping services for my company using QuickBooks. They’re familiar with Canadian tax laws and accounting practices.

What is the team composition?

I work with 1–2 teammates from Unity Communications, including Ivan (Bookkeeper). 

How did you come to work with Unity Communications?

I found Unity Communications on Google, and then I read some of their reviews on LinkedIn. I had an interview with Patrick (Founder & CEO) alongside his Philippine-based team. At the same time, I was looking into accounting firms based on their credentials and resumes. I chose Unity Communications because they were highly reputable. The team had done extremely better work than what I’d seen in Canada during my search for bookkeepers.

How much have you invested with them?

My monthly bill is $2,500. 

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with Unity Communications in January 2023, and the engagement is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Unity Communications does double the effectiveness and efficiency of the work for a fraction of its cost. Their bookkeeper’s work quality is better than anything I’ve found in Canada. I’ve worked with a large bookkeeping services company before; Unity Communications’ services are much better than theirs in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. 

How did Unity Communications perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re timely and responsive. On top of that, their services are more cost-effective than comparable Canadian companies. To communicate, we use email, WhatsApp, and Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their efficiency level in Canadian accounting has surprised and impressed me the most. The team is up to speed in terms of local sales tax, income tax, and the Canadian tax authority. Overall, they’re highly knowledgeable in local tax laws and accounting principles.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Broadening the scope of their work would be great. They’re doing their job so well that they could be doing more. While they might be offering more and we’re just not using those services yet, I’d like to see them do more internet marketing. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s best to speak with Patrick and their office manager in the Philippines to get their guidance. They know how to best serve your needs based on the people they have.
