164 | UK Enterprise Awards 2020 Sometimes there’s no accounting for success, but in the case of JSR Management & HR Consultancy Services Ltd, it’s easy to see how it’s happened. The team aim to deliver a high quality, personal, but professional accountancy service, tailor made to client needs and requirements. This has resulted, even through the pandemic, potential clients engaging JSR as their practice of choice, whilst continuing to treat each client as if they are the only client. We look more closely in the light of their stunning achievement in the UK Enterprise Awards. Accountancy Practice of the Year 2020 - Southampton Jul20309 It’s not easy navigating the complex world of accounting, payroll and taxation. Each brings its own unique challenges that are bespoke to the style of the business that is being run. While many business owners excel in their field of expertise, many rely on teams like those at JSR to balance the books and keep things moving. For the JSR team, each client is treated as more than a number on a page, with their own needs and requirements to keep their business running smoothly. Developing clear solutions that allow these firms to move forward is not always easy, but the reputation that the team have been able to cultivate speaks for itself. The use of technology is transforming all accountancy practices, and the JSR team have embraced its potential. IT brings with it its own challenges. The law surrounding this pioneering sector is changing all the time. A great deal of energy has gone into ensuring that the company’s Training and CPD policy is maintained and kept up to date. Recently, the firm has made the decision to move onto the cloud. This choice is one which has affected every aspect of the business, using the latest technology to allow a great deal more freedom, simplifying client sharing of information. Obviously, there have been challenges to face in this regard, but embracing new ideas has been vital to the continued success of the business. Clients appreciate the new facilities that are available to them. With a fixed fee package, there are no add-ons as everything is included. Employees have also found that the process assists with the flow of work. As JSR works alongside businesses making business and financial decisions, COVID-19 has made this an extraordinarily busy year. The task of implementing furlough arrangements across different industries has been a monumental one, while also ensuring that JSR is fit for what it may face in the future. The cloud-based way of working has allowed the team to work from home with ease for quite a while, easily communicating every change the Government has announced to clients, as well as explaining the impact it may have on them. During the pandemic, the team have ensured that all their clients have remained on top of a rapidly developing situation. They come first in every circumstance and the team have ensured that their clients are aware that JSR is on hand to offer whatever help is needed. The team have received many emails thanking them for being ‘reason and calm in the storm’. While focusing on business operation, JSR also teach – their specialism being Accountancy. Students at a local college benefit from JSR’s considerable experience through classroom based and online training. The team intend to develop bespoke training products to further share their knowledge and mentor other businesses so that others can fulfil their aspirations. Another ambition is to find ways in which to guide and assist the unemployed – assisting them in starting their own businesses. With many looking for alternate work, this the ideal time to start such a scheme. Success in this venture will benefit everyone as it brings about the potential of employment to more people. The team at JSR have a passion for empowering people to succeed in business. It’s a breath-taking zeal that keeps things on the move. During a crisis, it would be easy to try and take a step back, but JSR have shown their true colours, offering immeasurable support and assistance in troubling times. It is why existing clients continue to use them and recommend JSR as the Accountancy Practice of choice.
