About Business Development Unity

Business Development Unity works at the point where finance, tax, accounting, internal control, and technology all meet. That sounds tidy on paper, but in real life it means helping clients sort out processes that can get messy fast. The team does not just process information and send a report. They look at how each client works, spot what is slowing things down, and help build cleaner ways to operate. That up close, practical style has very well become one of the reasons the company stands out in a crowded top tier consulting market.

As the company grew, keeping control inside the operation became more important. In consulting, trust is the product as much as the service. One slow process or one small mistake can create noise with the team and with clients. Payroll became one of those areas where the old way wasn't enough. It needed more order, more speed, and less Excel drama quietly waiting in the actual corner.

What challenges were they facing with payroll?

The problem was not that the team lacked payroll knowledge. They knew what had to be done. The issue was that the process lived in too many manual files. Payroll calculations, attendance tracking, and employee updates were handled in separate spreadsheets, mostly in Excel. There was no single place tying everything together. So each payroll cycle came with repeated checks, extra reviews, and plenty of chances for one small detail to slip. Accuracy mattered, but the setup made accuracy harder.

“working with manual calculations forced us to review everything several times, and even then, there was always a risk of making mistakes.”

After a while, that kind of process wears people down. Too much time went into checking, correcting, and confirming details that should have been easier to manage. That time could have gone into client work and higher value tasks. Christmas bonuses, payroll changes, attendance, and severance calculations made the workload even heavier. Each process added more steps and more pressure. In high end consulting, clients expect fast and accurate work, so scattered files started to become a real limit. It was like carrying a tray full of coffee through a room with no lights on. Possible, yes. Relaxing, absolutely not.

In what areas has Runa helped them?

Runa helped México Business move from manual work to a more organized payroll and attendance process. Attendance tracking was one of the biggest changes. Before, the team had to deal with manual records and frequent inconsistencies. With geolocation and facial recognition, the process became easier to verify and much more reliable. “Attendance tracking through geolocation and facial recognition solved one of the main points of friction we had,” says Jorge Zavala.

Having everything in one place also changed the daily work. Payroll, employee data, incidents, and reports now live in a single platform. The team can manage adjustments and reports without jumping between spreadsheets or outside tools. The IMSS module also majorly helped with registrations, terminations, and employee changes, making those tasks faster and less dependent on manual follow up. Less clicking around. Less chasing. More control. The biggest relief was the drop in operational stress. Time that used to go into fixing files and checking errors can now go into client relationships and growth. Payroll became more predictable and easier to manage. Not flashy, but very valuable. Like a quiet air conditioner in a hot room. Nobody claps for it, but everyone is happier because it works.

Why did they choose Runa?

México Business chose Runa because they needed more than software. They needed a platform with strong features and a support team that actually helped. “We chose Runa not only because of the platform, but because of the human support that accompanies us. Every real question, adjustment, or modification is addressed immediately,” explains Zavala. That support mattered because the team needed quick answers, not a ticket disappearing into the fog.

Flexibility also made a difference. STP payments at any time, even on weekends, and custom reports gave the company more control over its operation. Instead of adapting to a stiff system, the team found a platform that fit the way they work. Today, México Business operates with more clarity, speed, and confidence. For a consulting firm where precision and trust matter every day, that is more than an internal improvement. It is a real advantage.
