KPMG and Metro Bank have unveiled a partnership that will see them help SMEs get around red tape by combining their accounting and banking services expertise.
As part of this offer, Metro Bank, one of the newest banks on Britain’s highstreet, will now offer access to a KPMG accountant as part of its small business banking service.
“With over a third of decision-makers spending more than one day a week tackling admin and red tape, it is not surprising that SMEs see reducing regulation as the number one priority for government to tackle, ” said Bivek Sharma, head of small business accounting at KPMG.
“Our new alliance minimises the time businesses have to spend confronting bureaucratic hurdles. Saving eight and a half hours a week; 34 hours a month; 45 days a year, we’re giving business owners time back to focus on growing their business and achieving their goals.”
