Renaissance & Rococo Ventures are the trading companies behind multiple McDonald’s restaurants across New Zealand. In fast food, speed and accuracy are everything, and bookkeeping is no exception. The nature of the business means fast and accurate financial processing is mission-critical for smart decisions. But when bookkeeping becomes a source of tension rather than support, even the best advisory can only go so far.
The Challenge – Bookkeeping Services
Before partnering with ClockworX, Renaissance & Rococo Ventures bookkeeping process didn’t quite align with their needs. Over time, this created challenges with consistency and deadlines, adding pressure at year-end and impacting the accountant’s role in supporting the business.
For Scott Horton, owner of Renaissance & Rococo Ventures, success depends on clean, accurate numbers and an accountant who can rely on them to deliver timely, strategic advice. That was the challenge facing Scott’s accountant, Craig Riddle of Equals Advisory, until ClockworX stepped in.
ClockworX Role – Collaborative Bookkeeping
ClockworX took a collaborative approach from the outset. Rather than working in isolation, we partnered directly with Craig to understand exactly what he needed from a bookkeeping team, the format, timing, level of detail, and deliverables that would fit seamlessly into his workflow.
Once aligned, we documented everything and implemented processes to ensure that monthly workpapers, coding, and reconciliations were completed accurately and on time, every time. We made it easy for Craig to focus on value-add work, while giving Scott confidence that his financials were under control and his team could focus on running high-volume restaurant operations.
The Impact – Bookkeeping For Accountants
- Improved accountant-client relationship: With clean books and full visibility, Craig could focus on advisory insights rather than data chasing.
- Reduced stress for the business owner: Scott no longer needed to act as the go-between. He had confidence that things were running smoothly behind the scenes.
- Consistency and clarity: Every reconciliation and report was completed to the same high standard, every month.
- Restored trust: Timeliness, transparency, and collaboration brought Craig and Scott’s working relationship back on track.
