Streamline Decentralized Accounting Operations with Workflow Automation

Accounting leaders can now see where work stands and where bottlenecks are in order to reduce unnecessary manual effort and minimize mistakes and errors.

After 30 years of failed attempts and half steps, it’s now possible for accounting leaders to know where work stands and where the bottlenecks are, in order to reduce unnecessary manual effort, phone calls, and meetings; to minimize mistakes and errors, late payments, and PO delays; and to achieve better results.

The pandemic-related shift to remote work made getting things done the old fashioned, manual way next to impossible. But for distributed multifacility, multilocation organizations in skilled nursing and elder care, retail, property management, etc., the challenges of coordinating data, documents, tasks, and people was nothing new.

Getting work done in distributed organizations is particularly difficult in finance and accounting. With each passing day, month-end closings, spending approvals, financial controlling, and compliance requires more effort, causes more frustration, and heightens personal exposure. Executives are demanding adaptable, responsive, and efficient operations and, now that RPA has exhausted its low hanging fruit, CFOs and controllers are being asked to make more strategic, lasting business process improvements.

But automating accounting workflows has been a formidable challenge where, over the past 30 years, little progress has been made. First and foremost, there are no packaged offerings available that can come close to meeting the diverse requirements of each industry, each geography, and each company’s way of doing businesses. While ERP vendors have tried to fill the gap with embedded workflow capabilities, that route has proven to be too rigid, inadequate, and unusable – particularly by non-accountants – and far too expensive to customize and to roll out to infrequent users. Low-code business process platforms promised a fast, easy path to workflow automation that, in reality, required expensive custom coding to address real world form, business logic, process flow, audit trail and security, work portal, and integration requirements.
