Challenge
A successful landscaping client had no time to manage their books. They were losing money from inaccurate accounts receivable reporting, which made it difficult to collect from overdue accounts. However, they didn’t have the funds to hire an experienced bookkeeper or the knowledge to train one in-house.
Solution
After meeting with the business to gain a full picture of their situation, we implemented a new bookkeeping solution and processes. Our team cleaned up their reporting and assigned a dedicated bookkeeper to ensure up-to-date monthly reporting. We also leveraged technology to automate billing and send out quotes digitally — saving them both time and money.
Results
Using the new technology introduced by MNP’s ease team, our client was able to increase their cash flow through timely and accurate reporting. They also saved on the cost of a full-time bookkeeper by leveraging automation to stay up to date on their monthly processes — saving time and improving their profitability.

Challenge
Paying out tips was eating into a company’s workday — and they were relying on an outdated and time-consuming system that nobody knew how to use correctly.
Solution
We analyzed the client’s software needs and provided several different solutions that fit their requirements. To ensure the tip payout system they chose would meet their goals, our team walked our client through each option from both the perspective of the employer and employee — helping them to understand its overall impact on the company.
Results
After walking through each option, our client chose a user-friendly tip payout solution that complied with CRA requirements. We provided in-house training on the new system to help free up more time in the day — giving them more time to focus on growing their business.

Challenge
An automobile repair company was losing too much time tracking expenses and billing manually. But that wasn’t the only challenge they were facing — their in-house accountant was planning to retire in several years and wanted to reduce her hours. They needed to automate their processes to save time and ensure everything continued to run smoothly thereafter.
Solution
We met with the client to gain a full understanding of their automation needs. We then implemented QuickBooks Online to save time on invoicing and efficiently track payments. We also leveraged Wagepoint to automate payments, and Dext to save time on locating invoices.
Results
Leveraging ease allowed our client’s accountant to work fewer hours in preparation for retirement. By automating their accounting processes, our client was also able to hire an administrative assistant instead of a replacement accountant — enabling them to save money and seamlessly manage their financials.
