How do you choose the right accounting system?
The right system depends on transaction volume, inventory complexity, number of entities and currencies, and the reports management needs. A trading company with one warehouse has very different needs from a manufacturer with work in progress and multiple plants.
We document your requirements, shortlist suitable systems and compare total cost of ownership, so the decision is based on fit rather than a vendor's sales presentation.
Why should accountants lead an ERP implementation?
Many ERP projects fail because the chart of accounts, approval workflows and costing methods are set up by technical consultants without accounting input. We design these elements first, then configure the software, so month-end closes faster and audits are easier.
- Chart of accounts and cost centre design
- Opening balance migration and reconciliation
- Approval workflows and user access
- Inventory costing method set-up
- Sales tax and withholding configuration
What can be automated in the finance function?
Bank reconciliations, recurring journals, vendor payments, expense claims and management reporting can all be automated to a large extent. We build dashboards that pull directly from the ledger so management sees cash, receivables and margins without waiting for month-end.
