A financial services company had achieved steady growth, but inefficiencies in its back-office operations were beginning to affect profitability and client experience. Manual data entry, outdated legacy systems, and fragmented processes created delays in billing, compliance reporting, and client account management. Employees spent significant time on repetitive administrative tasks, leaving little room for strategic work. Leadership recognized that without modernizing back-office functions, the company risked rising operational costs, reduced agility, and lower client satisfaction.
Leanor partnered with the client to streamline and digitize back-office workflows. We began by analyzing core administrative processes such as billing, reporting, and record-keeping to identify inefficiencies. Automation tools were introduced to eliminate repetitive tasks, including invoice processing, compliance checks, and data reconciliation.
To ensure consistency and accuracy, we implemented integrated platforms that connected accounting, HR, and compliance systems, reducing the need for manual data transfer. Standardized reporting templates and governance practices were established to improve accuracy and accountability. Additionally, employee training sessions were conducted to support adoption of new tools and encourage a shift toward higher-value activities.
By modernizing its back-office, the company improved efficiency while lowering costs, freeing up resources to focus on strategic priorities. Key results included:
