Environet UK Ltd
Environet UK is a leading invasive plant specialist, helping UK property owners tackle threats like Japanese knotweed. Managing such a business demands strong compliance, financial clarity, and operational efficiency — which is why they turned to Goldstar IT for expert, on-demand Zoho support for environmental services.
At a Zoho Finance Workshop, Environet UK’s Financial Controller, Judit met Vicki from Goldstar IT, sparking a trusted, ongoing relationship. Instead of a fixed project, Goldstar provided flexible, on-demand support — helping optimise their system, resolve issues, and build lasting confidence in Zoho. Judit, having used software’s such as Xero and Quickbooks, needed help on Zoho Books. Plus, she had inherited historic challenges that needed resolving.
Project Highlights
The Objective
Despite having already migrated to Zoho Books, Environet UK needed support in navigating and maximising the platform’s capabilities. The challenges included;
- Getting a clear mental model of how Zoho Books operated in practice.
- Fulfilling accounting requirements while keeping things practical and understandable for the business.
- Balancing theory and practice — They had the technical knowledge but needed a finance-savvy interpreter to help connect Zoho Books with business and accounting expectations.
- Hands on Training and System Familiarisation – personalised training and guidance, empowering the client to confidently navigate the system—especially around journals, approvals, and corrections. This built internal capacity and reduced reliance on external support.
- Best Practice Implementation & Workflow Optimisation – introduced Zoho Books best practices, such as automating recurring journals, using tags (or cost centers) for better reporting, and maintaining consistent documentation. This reduced manual errors and improved monthly close processes.
Goldstar IT’s task wasn’t just about functionality — it was about confidence, strategy, and making Zoho work for their specific needs. Giving Zoho support for environmental services by taking an existing deployment and making sure it was right for Environet UK’s processes and objectives.
The Solution
Goldstar stepped in as a trusted finance partner — not just an implementer, but a coach, translator, and problem-solver.
- Ad hoc tuition and troubleshooting to build day-to-day fluency in Zoho Books
- Deep Zoho expertise with 20+ years of accounting insight to align financial data with strategic outcomes.
- Sounding board support for quarterly planning, system decisions, and unusual scenarios.
- Best-practice structuring of accounts, processes, and documentation — improving collaboration between business and accountants.
- On-demand, human-centred consulting — answering questions, giving feedback, and helping course-correct as needed.
This wasn’t about one deliverable. It was about offering Zoho support for an environmental services company like Environet UK and helping them grow into their system — and being the reliable support that lets them move forward with clarity.
