WORKFLOW OPTIMISATION / NORFOLK
WHAT IS INCLUDED
WHY NORWICH
Lean Norwich teams tend to absorb new tasks rather than redesign around them. A practice that started with five people now has fifteen, but still approves expenses, onboards clients and closes month-end the way it did at five. Our workflow reviews begin by watching the work happen, often over a day of visits in the city followed by remote sessions, then mapping each step, who touches it and where it waits. The map alone frequently reveals fixes that need no code.
WORKFLOW OPTIMISATION / NORWICH
Where tooling does help, we look first at what you already pay for. Microsoft 365, Xero and the major CRMs all do more than most firms use. For research organisations, the common bottleneck is the handover between lab, finance and grant administration, where the same figures get copied and checked several times. Our advice is the smallest change that removes the wait, then measure whether it worked before suggesting the next.
IN PRACTICE / NORWICH
A growing Norwich accountancy firm might map its onboarding from engagement letter to first filing, then replace chased emails with a single checklist, automated ID and document requests, and a status view the partners can check at a glance.
A research organisation could review how costs flow from lab purchasing to grant reports, removing duplicate entry between finance and project teams and setting up a monthly reconciliation that takes an hour rather than several days.
A marketing agency could streamline how retainer hours are logged, reviewed and reported to clients, connecting timesheets to a monthly summary so account managers stop compiling reports by hand at month-end.

QUESTION / NORWICH
We scope each review to a defined process and quote a fixed fee after an initial call. You get a diagram of how the process runs today, a list of issues ranked by impact, and specific recommendations, most of which you can implement yourselves. Build work is a separate decision, and you are under no obligation to use us for it.
