Laing+Simmons has added another centralised support service to its growing arsenal, launching a trust accounting service for its network to streamline processes and ease operational pressures, while giving customers extra confidence that their interests are secured through expert-led, consistent accounting practices.
The new trust accounting service is available to the entire Laing+Simmons network and reflects the company’s long-term strategy of empowering offices with meaningful solutions.
In addition to easing pressure on administrative tasks, the service unlocks time saving advantages to enable office principals and their teams to focus additional resources on customer service and growth.
As an additional innovation to support Laing+Simmons property managers, the service has been designed to be scalable for offices of all sizes, whether they’re established or new to the network, while also reducing the time burden for those offices wishing to manage their own trust accounting in house.
Michael Anania, Laing+Simmons Head of Property Management, explains the rationale behind the new centralised service.
“Our priority is to support our network with services that add genuine value. By introducing trust accounting, we are providing a streamlined and scalable solution that ensures offices can operate with confidence, while freeing up their time so they can do what they do best,” Mr Anania, told The Real Estate Conversation.
“We are in constant communication with our network and this process is a two-way street. Listening to our offices, it is clear trust accounting is an area in which a centralised support function will deliver meaningful benefits to their businesses.
“The service is about easing the day-to-day pressures our offices face, taking away the complexity, supporting their growth and giving our network more time to focus on what really matters – their customers.
“It also promotes peace of mind for business owners, as we have invested in specific expertise to ensure accuracy is protected.
“As franchisor, the Laing+Simmons approach is to deliver a seamless corporate experience to all businesses in the network. This means taking responsibility, through tangible investments and provision of resources, for training, administration and other support functions so teams can focus on their core business.
“Trust accounting is the latest addition to the comprehensive suite of services we provide, and which we continue to expand,” Mr Anania says.
