Increased Efficiency with Automation

Case Study: Increased Efficiency with Automation
Client Profile: A growing international marketing agency with remote teams and multi-currency operations
Industry: Creative Services / Digital Marketing
Services Provided: Accounting Automation, Workflow Integration, Reporting, Payroll

Challenge:
The client was experiencing growing pains—managing financial tasks manually across several tools and platforms, including spreadsheets, bank portals, and legacy accounting software. As the business scaled and team members worked from multiple time zones, the lack of integrated systems created inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and delays in reporting and payroll.

Our Approach:
Equarius Advisory stepped in to automate and integrate the client’s finance function. We implemented a fully cloud-based accounting system connected directly to their payment processors and bank feeds. Invoicing, expense tracking, and reconciliation were automated, while custom rules were created to categorise transactions and reduce human error.

We also introduced automated payroll scheduling and digital approval workflows, ensuring staff across different countries were paid on time without added admin strain. Financial dashboards were created to give real-time performance insights—accessible from anywhere, at any time.

Results:
Automation reduced the client’s manual workload by over 50%, freeing up internal resources and eliminating repeated data entry. Monthly financial reporting became a smooth, fast process instead of a fire drill. Payroll accuracy improved, delays disappeared, and leadership gained reliable visibility over their finances—even with a globally dispersed team.

Takeaway:
Automation doesn’t just save time—it unlocks capacity and sharpens decision-making. At Equarius Advisory, we help clients move away from outdated processes and into modern, integrated financial systems that scale with their ambitions. This client didn’t just gain efficiency—they gained freedom to focus on growth.
