Case Study
Small UK Accountancy Firm.
The Problem
This UK small accountancy firm had been using offshore team members for a number of years, mainly using team members from the Philippines.
However, the owner of the firm was finding that the offshore staff’s quality of work was dropping, and the offshore firm was finding it difficult to find new team members to join offshore to help the small UK accountancy firm.
The owner had been very patient and explored other offshore firms in the Philippines but everyone that joined only stayed for a couple of weeks, which had a very negative impact on his firm and its clients.
The Solution
At the end of his tether, the client approached Samera Global, and we listened to his concerns.
Initially sceptical, considering his experience with offshoring, he gave us a chance to find him suitable team members.
Through initially understanding the roles he required for his firm, we then devised specific job descriptions for the roles required.
Then through our HR team based in India, we set about the process of finding suitable candidates. Numerous interviews were carried out with candidates, language tests, and accounting tests were also carried out until the field was narrowed down to a few select candidates.
The client then interviewed each candidate, putting them through a series of assessments.
Once he had assessed each candidate he then decided to take-on board 4 candidates. One team manager, one bookkeeper, one year-end accountant and one tax accountant.
The Result
The impact of getting the offshore right team members in place has been significant for this UK firm. It has freed the owner up from the day-to-day issues of all the compliance work, and allowed him to focus on building the firm, getting new clients and building relationships with existing clients, knowing that much of the core compliance work is being taken care of by the Samera Global offshore team.
Case Study
UK Accountancy Firm needing an experienced team quickly to win a large and highly profitable piece of business.
The Problem
This UK accountancy had recently won a new large piece of business, doing the book-keeping and accounts payable side of things for a £ 15 million turnover company.
The company had grown fast, and had implemented Xero, but when the accounting firm got involved it was evident that things had been implemented very poorly and with no clear structure.
Despite winning the business, the accountancy firm needed an army of experienced Xero bookkeepers to get things in shape as quickly as possible.
The accounting firm had drafted a standard set of procedures but they were struggling to find bookkeepers to help with all the backlog and then ensuring the monthly accounts going forward are done correctly.
The Solution
The accounting firm approached Samera Global with the remit of needing a team of experienced bookkeepers to get things moving swiftly.
A clear job description detailing experience was drafted with the accounting firm, and then Samera Global set about doing what they do best – finding the best talent available for the role.
Looking internally within Samera Global and also externally, a team of bookkeepers was identified, interviewed by the client and the accountancy firm, and started swiftly on the job at hand.
The Result
A happy business, and a very happy accounting firm, as it proved to be the largest and most profitable piece of business they had won. Without the assistance of the Samera Global team, they would not have been able to deliver this standard of work to help them grow their firm.

The Problem
