Transforming Workflows with Canopy: Brittany Malidore’s Path to Efficiency has truly been a journey worth sharing. In a recent heart-to-heart conversation, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Brittany Malidore, co-founder and managing partner of Ledgerly Consulting, about how has been instrumental in transforming workflows at her firm. She shared how Canopy has redefined their approach to workflow and efficiency, highlighting the steps her team took to integrate this essential tech tool. As Brittany opened up about her team’s journey to achieving peak efficiency, it became clear that Canopy is now the core workflow engine driving Ledgerly Consulting’s success. Our conversation was rich with insights into her decision-making process and the pivotal role Canopy now plays in streamlining her firm’s workflows and operations.
The Techie’s Guide to Workflow Efficiency
Brittany is well-known for her deep-dive approach to tech solutions in accounting. During our chat, she explained how her passion for technology propels Ledgerly Consulting forward. Because they are a 100% cloud-based firm serving nonprofits, they rely on technology to eliminate the need for on-site visits. However, they still maintain a human touch through intentional in-person interactions. Her team constantly looks for ways to improve operations, focusing on creating efficient workflows that bring maximum value to clients.
“We’re always looking for ways to do things better,” Brittany emphasized. This dedication to tech-driven solutions reflects Ledgerly Consulting’s commitment to providing a more efficient, client-centered experience.
Tackling Workflow Challenges: App Exhaustion
One standout moment in our conversation was Brittany’s description of her team’s “app exhaustion.” She explained, with a chuckle, how they had been juggling around 10 different apps for everything from time tracking to client communication. Naturally, this overload created inefficiencies, duplicated efforts, and some understandable frustration.
However, reducing the number of apps wasn’t Brittany’s only goal. She needed a centralized system that would give her team greater visibility and control over workflows. “We were app exhausted,” she said. “One of our team’s biggest inefficiencies was visibility and centralization of data.” So, the search began for a practice management tool that could bring it all together in one place.
Discovering Canopy: Transforming Workflows with Canopy’s Centralized Solution
After exploring several practice management platforms, Brittany’s firm found their ideal match with Canopy. What made Canopy stand out? Its modular design allowed her team to customize and scale as they grew.
Canopy’s centralized system has since become the backbone of Ledgerly Consulting’s workflow management. It enabled Brittany to move her team from multiple scattered apps to one seamless platform. With this change, they could forecast workloads, track project progress, and manage workflows more accurately. Now, with Canopy, her team can see the big picture and consistently meet client deadlines. “Canopy allows us to forecast our workflow and track what our teams are doing and where work is,” Brittany shared.
The transition, however, wasn’t immediate. Brittany noted that moving to Canopy was a gradual process, but the results have been well worth it. Canopy’s customization options have empowered her team to self-manage tasks more effectively and eased the challenge of managing a heavy client load.
A Vision for Innovation in Workflow and Tech
Brittany is thrilled about Canopy’s commitment to innovation. “We wanted to be with someone who asks, ‘How do we innovate? How do we listen to the users and grow?’” she explained. Having a tech partner with a forward-looking vision was essential to her.
