Part 3 of 4

In these uncertain times, it is essential that business leaders continue to adapt: making financial decisions that alleviate both short and long term needs are paramount for continued business success.

Whether you’re working from home, or in the office, you require real time financial data to make critical decisions in a timely manner.  The proliferation of cloud-based accounting services has provided finance departments with the ability to work in a completely remote environment, add efficiencies and be able to have the data at their fingertips in real time.

Our full-scope CAAS solution enables our firm to serve as our client’s virtual accounting department, with the complete accounting/finance function being performed within our four walls.

The foundation of our solution is centered on a cloud-based technology platform consisting of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, various integrated applications and bank/investment account interface.  We select and customize the technology tools we use based upon each client’s needs.  Our current “technology stack” includes:

• Sage Intacct
• QuickBooks Online
• Bill.com
• Expensify

Furthermore, we are able to integrate our technology solutions with your internal technology platforms.

Our “technology stack” creates a stream-lined process, through which financial data is aggregated, coded and accounted for.  It is a browser-based system which allows our client and our team to access and communicate anywhere, anytime on multiple devices.

Topics in this series:

Part 1 The Right People

Part 2 Real-Time Visibility

Part 3 Connected Data

Part 4 Scalable Processes & Controls

Our strategic use of technology provides our team and our clients access to valuable financial information that is available in real time.  This allows our clients to make informed financial decisions in a timely manner in a completely remote environment.

Our CAAS team serves many businesses throughout Western New York and across the U.S. by functioning as their virtual accounting and finance team. Because our infrastructure is designed around remote access and the use of cloud-based technologies, we can help you and your team prepare with the data you need to confront future challenges.
