The team is accomplishing its quarterly targets well ahead of schedule.
Accomplishing such a complex task requires both skill and coordination.
Note
One spelling, two jobs: after a form of be it builds the progressive (she is accomplishing a great deal), and on its own it works as a noun (accomplishing the task took weeks). Either way it keeps the verb's transitive habit and takes a direct object. In the Philippines it also carries the paperwork sense of filling out a form, so accomplishing the form there means completing it, not achieving something.
