Muve is a well-known conveyancing firm praised by The Sunday Times as one of the UK’s fastest-growing businesses. They have been providing exceptional transaction services since 2016, known for their ability to prepare properties for exchange within just 5 weeks (or 8 weeks for leasehold properties). Muve is dedicated to simplifying and streamlining the often complex process of property transactions for their clients.
In 2019, Muve enhanced their operations by adopting Hoowla’s case management system. Recently, they further unified their processes by migrating their legal accounts to Hoowla. This decision was driven by dissatisfaction with their previous provider’s price hikes and lack of service improvements after a corporate acquisition.
The transition to the new system presented challenges, particularly in transferring a substantial amount of historical data accurately. However, Hoowla worked closely with Muve to ensure all necessary features were incorporated, allowing Muve’s historical data to be correctly displayed from the start. These features are now available to all Hoowla users at no extra cost.
One major benefit of Hoowla’s system is the integration of client and office accounting within a single screen in their case management system. This integration simplifies financial management by enabling users to monitor transactions, track expenditures, and reconcile accounts seamlessly, eliminating the need to switch between multiple systems.
Hoowla’s user-friendly design ensures that Muve’s accounting team finds the platform intuitive and easy to navigate. The system adapts to Muve’s unique workflows, allowing for customisation to their specific needs and fostering cross-departmental collaboration without disruption. For example, Hoowla can generate completion statements in seconds, create invoices from stored data, and switch invoices to approval mode, streamlining the approval process and facilitating teamwork.
Muve’s legal accounts team can also reconcile and generate custom reports directly within Hoowla, further simplifying their financial management. Hoowla’s notification system alerts fee earners and their teams whenever funds are deposited into the client account, reducing the need for extensive email communications between fee earners and the accounts department.
Hoowla ensures compliance with industry regulations and standards, providing Muve with the confidence that their financial operations are secure and legally compliant. The system’s features are designed to meet data security measures and accounting regulations, allowing Muve to manage their finances with peace of mind.
Hoowla has expanded its accounting system with features tailored for larger firms like Muve, enabling bulk processing of account actions. Users can now search, select, and execute cash transfers in bulk, streamlining reconciliation processes between clients and the office.
