Ask any accountant about the end of month and they are likely to respond with a sigh. For many businesses month end means a whole lot of reconciling, adjusting, accruing and correcting. This usually involves long hours and wasted time trying to track down important information, sifting through document details and updating spreadsheets from the month prior
Companies that rely on antiquated systems and manual processes know all to well the headaches that surround month-end. Common symptoms these business might experiences might experience may include:
1. Manual work and duplicate data entry
2. Delayed financial reporting
3. Incomplete or erroneous transaction entries
4. Manual adjustments, accruals and allocations
