Mimo

Team

BKB is a UK-based accountancy firm with a 20+ year track record of serving SMEs across various industries. With around 30 staff and over 2,000 clients, BKB acts as a proactive partner, helping clients run smarter businesses and not just crunch numbers. As the firm scaled, so did the inefficiencies of manual processes, particularly around payments. That’s where Mimo came in.

Streamlining payments, simply

Instead of logging into multiple systems, manually retyping data or chasing bank credentials, Alistair now receives a simple approval notification. One click later, payments are processed securely and instantly.

“I get an email from Mimo saying a payment run needs to be approved. I click a button, log in, approve. It takes less than a minute instead of half an hour. Saving that time during a busy day is massive.”

BKB has also introduced Mimo to its clients, especially those with regular batch payment runs. When introducing Mimo, the team demos the platform to show clients how automation can save time and reduce manual effort. The implementation has delivered value to a range of clients, from startup founders juggling multiple suppliers to growing brands expanding across continents.

“Mimo lets us offer value beyond tax and compliance. We help our clients streamline operations – and they trust us more for it.”

BKB’s adoption of Mimo has led to measurable efficiency gains.

  • Time saved Payment runs that once took up to 30 minutes have been reduced to less than a minute

  • Stronger client relationships The efficiency boost has freed up time for the team to focus on higher-value client interactions, resulting in increased trust and stronger relationships

  • Enhanced security and control As Mimo's built-in systems flags mismatches between invoice data and bank account details, BKB has gained an added layer of protection against fraud. This verification prevents incorrect or manipulated payment information from slipping through, giving both the firm and its clients greater confidence in every transaction

Bringing smarter workflows into everyday advice

Whether it’s demonstrating Mimo to a client expanding into new markets or helping a startup founder reduce operational friction, BKB has made payment automation part of its advisory mindset.
