Automate data capture & extraction
Accounting Tech: Adopt
The average accounting practice spends 70% of their time on manual data collection and entry. This is precious time that can be otherwise spent on servicing and advising more clients!The decision to adopt automation technology can be a daunting one, but can result in bigger gains for accounting firms in the long run. And while automation can take on the majority of an accountant’s grunt work, it doesn’t spell the end for accountants. Rather, it leads to opportunities for accounting practices to play less of a functional role and more of a strategic one.
