Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We hired Zenbooks to come in and clean up our books after our previous cloud accounting firm left it in a state of mess. They oversee our month-end bookkeeping, P&Ls, tax filing and advisory, and payroll management

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Flawless books
On time, and error-free payroll and accounting

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Always deliver on time as agreed to in our service agreement. Quick to respond when we have any questions, and very accessible

What was your primary form of communication with Zenbooks?

Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I appreciate their team and ownership seem to genuinely care about the work they do, and how they contribute towards their client's success. Something we lacked in our previous 2 experiences with cloud accounting firms. They are also very accessible when needed.

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

Be a bit more flexible upfront with customized pricing solutions - with an in-house finance person, we had "unique needs" in terms of all the services we needed or didn't need. It took some time to hone in on the correct package for us, but we did get there.

Zenbooks provides bookkeeping services to an outsourced conscious sales agency. They align all the client's books, account for all transactions, produce profit and loss statements, and handle payroll.

Zenbooks is highly accountable and capable. Their team is consistent, and the client trusts them with their needs. They also complete tasks within the agreed-upon deadline most of the time. Delays only occur when the payroll falls on the day the assigned person for the account is out of the office.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

On-time and accurate delivery of needed tasks, as mentioned in the project description portion

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Yes, 90%+ of the time. The only time things were delayed was when payroll would fall on a day that the person assigned to my account does not work (Fridays), which has definitely caused some issues. As we grow and build this business, we won't be able to accept that a Friday be an off day if that is a payroll day - it ends up falling on me to do payroll in those circumstances.

What was your primary form of communication with Zenbooks?

Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The person assigned to my account (Beata) is HIGHLY accountable and capable. I super appreciate their consistency and how much I can trust them with the things I need.

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

As mentioned in the question before - right now, the assigned representative does not work on Fridays, which in the beginning wasn't really an issue, but is now becoming an issue as we grow, and people really expect to be paid on a Friday when the payroll period lands on that day. Otherwise, everything has been great.
