Financial reporting can have a huge impact on a company’s success. Accurate reporting can help your clients and internal stakeholders understand the company’s performance and make better business decisions. If reporting is inaccurate, it could lead to a damaged reputation, financial losses, and even bankruptcy.
In addition to maintaining accuracy, accountants often must piece together reports from multiple systems to understand the whole picture. This compilation can lead to manual errors that could significantly impact their financial counsel.
coAmplifi’s workforce management software can help CPA firms overcome these and other internal challenges, ease the workload of overwhelmed accountants, and simplify everyday processes.
Financial Reporting Challenges for CPA Firms
Accountants have a lot to keep track of regarding financial reporting. They must:
- Remedy data inaccuracies from manual input
- Quickly dissect reports to meet certain client deadlines
- Track each client’s finances to ensure they’re trending in the right direction
When you combine these responsibilities with consistently heavy workloads, high rates of burnout in the accounting industry, and multiple systems that don’t “talk” to each other, it can be a recipe for disaster.
Implementing technology that can automate this process and make it easier to stay organized can help reduce errors and save time for higher-value work.
How coAmplifi Streamlines Financial Reporting for CPA Firms
coAmplifi is a workforce management software built with accounting firms in mind. Our single platform offers helpful tools that can be used to simplify your internal reporting processes to save you time without compromising accuracy.
Here’s how this software can relieve some of your financial reporting woes.
Reduce the Risk of Data Errors
Using business management software like coAmplifi to track cash flow instead of manual processes can reduce the risk of human error, which is prevalent in the field. According to a Gartner survey, 18% of accountants make financial errors at least daily, while 59% make several errors per month. These errors can be costly for your business.
Maintain Accurate Wage & Hour Compliance
Within your firm, coAmplifi makes it easier to comply with employee wage and hour laws. The available tools allow you to apply local regulations by custom-setting each employee’s location and time zone. This is especially important for firms with remote and hybrid employees.
coAmplifi will use that information to automatically set guidelines according to local laws for factors like:
- The number of hours worked
- The length of required rest breaks
- Overtime allowances
- Minimum wage requirements
Additionally, employees receive pop-up reminders to take breaks according to these applicable laws and your firm’s scheduling preferences. This can also help improve their work-life balance.
Analyze Key Insights
Use data automatically captured through coAmplifi’s business intelligence tools to make year-over-year internal comparisons in areas like productivity costs for better resource allocation forecasts down the road. These tools enhance operations management by allowing you to quickly draw informed conclusions, increase efficiency, and visualize trends in large volumes of data.
Take Advantage of Technological Advancements
Many companies face challenges when it comes to technology, such as outdated applications or software platforms that aren’t compatible with certain reporting systems. These obstacles can prevent accuracy in data collection and reports. Plus, it can lead to a waste of time trying to hunt down or transfer data across different internal platforms that don’t integrate with each other.
coAmplifi enables real-time data access to ensure you always have the most up-to-date numbers to facilitate informed decision-making. Our automated tools can efficiently analyze, collect, and report on data with just a few clicks. They can also speed up the payment process for completed work.
For example, after a pre-bill is generated for a client, simply make any necessary adjustments (such as write-offs) and submit the information to your accounts receivable team for prompt payment.
