Neil has been with the business from its launch 13 years ago, so there\u2019s no-one better to tell us how their communications have evolved.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emails and phone calls just don\u2019t do the trick anymore. Think about the sales, turnover, profit, and tax documents you\u2019ve reviewed over the last financial year. Now imagine someone trying to explain all these important figures to you over <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">just a voice call<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026 [Audible gasp]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out how One Accounting uses the Teleport app to <\/span><b>streamline internal meetings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and offer a <\/span><b>more personal service to clients<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One for the money<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neil describes One Accounting as \u201can accountancy practice that supplies useful and high-level information to passionate business owners\u201d, so they can make better decisions about how they operate. Speaking of his role, he adds: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI&#8217;m responsible for some of the client service to the bigger clients that we have, as well as the day-to-day management and running of the business.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Needless to say, with such responsibilities, it was imperative that Neil find a video calling solution that <\/span><b>worked for his team and clients<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The firm was a fan of remote working from the get-go, but the right technology was difficult to find in 2007. Over the years, more products were introduced but still lacked the reliability One Accounting needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBefore using Teleport, we were using Skype,\u201d Neil begins. \u201cIt was often a bit glitchy. And it certainly wasn&#8217;t as easy to use in terms of setting up group chats.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat we were really looking for was something that was easy to use for the team, and didn&#8217;t take too much maintenance time.\u201d Enter: Teleport <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can ac-count on us<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As their distributed team grew, One Accounting had to ensure communication remained smooth and straightforward. About 2 years ago, the firm recruited its first team member based in Ireland. Not exactly an *easy* commute to their Edinburgh office! But, that speaks to how the right video conferencing and collaboration app can enable any business to <\/span><b>look beyond the local talent pool<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and hire the best candidate for the role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neil explains how effortless it has been to keep in the loop with all team members using the Teleport app: \u201cWe&#8217;ve got remote workers and just being able to connect with them [is] so simple. It&#8217;s a click and you&#8217;re in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>One-click video conferencing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a perk all accountancy businesses can enjoy with Teleport. All you need to do is create your unique meeting room URL, share it with your invitees, and everyone can join in their browsers. No downloads, no installations, no fuss &#8212; and suited to any desktop or mobile device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt certainly cut down on a lot of internal email and it also made the response times between the team a bit quicker,\u201d offers Neil. \u201c[It\u2019s] just easy to say \u2018hi\u2019 to people without having to pick up the phone and playing telephone tag over three or four calls!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How One Accounting profited from Teleport<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked about the Teleport features One Accounting finds most useful, Neil tells us, \u201cWe use the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/teleport.video\/telecast\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">screen sharing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> feature quite heavily.\u201d Traditionally, the company holds a weekly planning meeting in-office. However, in instances where all team members are working remotely, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/teleport.video\/telecast\"><b>ShareScreen<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has helped them stay on the same page. \u201cThe screen sharing allows us to pull up some of the documents that we&#8217;d be looking at normally. It&#8217;s great!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This key tool helps the accounting professionals <\/span><b>review the same documents within calls<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with clients. Emphasising the simplicity of ShareScreen in navigating complex financial data, Neil says, \u201cRather than trying to point them [through] an Excel spreadsheet &#8212; go to such-and-such a tab, go to row A, in column 10 &#8212; there\u2019s none of that. You just point and click and we&#8217;re both looking at the same thing!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No exaggeration &#8211; you can literally share your screen in just. one. click.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-184 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/OneAcc2-300x236.png\" alt=\"ShareScreen for accountants\" width=\"601\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/OneAcc2-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/OneAcc2-768x605.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clients and internal staff have responded positively to this new-found collaborative freedom. <\/span><b>In-call chat<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> makes it a breeze to <\/span><b>share files and comment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, without disrupting the conversation. And, being able to <\/span><b>record your meeting<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> means everyone can refer back to points raised.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Describing how Teleport has created a better flow of communication, internally and externally, Neil says, \u201cPeople get back to you much quicker or [queries are] resolved there and then. I think just being able to see somebody always makes a difference as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The flexibility of the app means key players on accounts can attend regular online meetings, and this <\/span><b>face-to-face connection<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> enhances their customer service. Video conferencing also enables the firm to meet with clients more often, without either party having to weigh-up travel costs. So long, taxis, trains and private jets &#8212; Hello, reducing your carbon footprint. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meetings aren\u2019t so taxing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, 50% of One Accounting\u2019s team works remotely. When asked if Neil would recommend other accountancy businesses set up Anywhere, he replied, \u201cGive it a go because I think you&#8217;ll be pleasantly surprised. If you&#8217;ve got the right tools in place, it actually becomes a simple process. These days, there&#8217;s no reason why communication should drop. The tools are there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s a much easier process than maybe you think it is, [and] in terms of your personal life, it can transform it! I just have so much more time. I don\u2019t have to get up so early. I don&#8217;t have a commute to face every day!\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">relatablecontent if ever we\u2019ve heard it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Teleport, you can <\/span><b>join meetings from wherever suits you<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and so can your clients and colleagues. One Accounting\u2019s team is grateful for the options, with Neil stating that some love the experience of working from home on a permanent basis. \u201cThey feel more productive. And I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;ll actually want to go full-time in office!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invest in Teleport<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The time had come to bid Neil a farewell. Our last question, and we hoped he wouldn\u2019t leave us in suspense: Would he suggest using the Teleport app to other accountancy companies?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe biggest reason I recommend Teleport is the <\/span><b>ease of use<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and the ability to bring multiple people into a meeting very simply,\u201d he begins. \u201cAnd then to be able to share documents so that you&#8217;re all looking at the same thing, in the same place at the same time. That&#8217;s really quite powerful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What better way to finish our interview? Cheers, Neil.
