With meaningful business reports, you can quickly identify issues that cost too much time and money and easily see which departments, projects, and products are the most and least profitable. You also have an always-on view of operational and financial performance, allowing you to make fast, confident decisions. 

Unfortunately, small business accounting applications like the one you’re probably using can’t deliver meaningful reports. And if you’re working remotely, you can’t get instant access to the latest data, either. 

We understand. We know how hard it is to access the information you need to make smart, strategic growth decisions.  

 Our customers most common reporting challenges include:

  • Meeting regulations (for example, SOX, SOC1, SOC2, and ISO) 
  • Compliance reporting 
  • Manual reports taking too long

Reporting automation for real-time reporting

  • No access to vital reports like cash flow, customer receivables aging, opportunity pipeline, inventory valuation, and sales analysis 
  • Lack of real-time data 
  • Inability to report across business areas 

Reporting automation made easy

Small Changes, Big Impact: Understanding Digital Transformation

There are many definitions of digital transformation, but here’s our favorite: Adopting new—or modifying existing—technology to make your business run better. 

This transformation fundamentally changes how businesses operate and deliver value. 

Many believe digital transformation is simply using the cloud and analytics. However, those are only two elements of a digital transformation. A comprehensive transformation occurs only when an organization also improves its integration, automation, and system flexibility.
