It is no secret that over the past two decades, the evolution of digital transformation has impacted businesses far and wide. If you do not keep up, you may be left behind. Automation and digitalisation go hand-in-hand, making typical manual tasks easier and faster. It is vital to move with the market to remain competitive. You may have seen your competitors slash overheads and surge productivity. Now, it is even more difficult in the fight for market share. Of course, there are challenges when implementing automated reconciliation as traditional accounting dates back to the 15th century. Therefore, there is no surprise resistance to change is commonly present. However, modernisation is essential, and it is critical right now.
Reasons to Automate
Many manual tasks within your organisation are resource-intensive. Time is money. Automation equips you with the ability to produce more in less time. Meaning you can service more customers in less time, with fewer resources. Every automated task not only improves productivity but frees up time for accounting staff to focus on strategic projects.
Staff have boosted morale, those hours spent staring soullessly into spreadsheets have depleted. Research has shown that 81% of UK accounts can save 2-working-hours per day with the automation of bookkeeping tasks. With Sonas, staff members have more time to utilise their expertise and their strategic abilities. In return, you have added value, boosted morale and increased strategic agility.
Automation technologies and software mean one thing, data. How many times do we have to hear the word data before we begin to take it seriously? The automatic processing of accounting data creates a comprehensive data trail. Data can now be transformed into meaningful reports and analytics, giving you transparency and data visibility.
Why take pointless risks? Automated reconciliation reduces risks. Manual reconciliation of spreadsheets is a tedious task. A task that consumes many of accountants working hours. It is hardly a surprise that human error is frequent. Additionally, if accounts do not have 100% transparency, how can they be expected to give 100% accuracy? Fortunately, automated reconciliation is gifted data visibility, which in turn, gifts precision to accountants. Developing exceptions can be avoided. The resolution of unavoidable exceptions is a breeze due to their transparent source of error. Write-offs, turn-off.
