Managing your company's financials is the backbone of your business and essential to its long-term health and viability, yet financial oversight often takes a back seat during periods of rapid growth and increasing revenues. To maintain the financial rigor necessary to support such growth, your accounting department needs the right tools to operate efficiently; without them, staff waste valuable time on manual and duplicative tasks while closing the books each month, sometimes requiring temporary hires just to keep up. When spreadsheets and workarounds become the norm, it's a clear sign that your financial management solution is due for an upgrade, as financial close times and audit preparations become excessively long, and last-minute sales may go unrecorded, delaying revenue recognition. Critical processes like financial consolidation, multi-jurisdictional taxation, and multi-currency reporting become major productivity drains and are prone to errors, all while regulatory requirements - such as revenue recognition rules and shifting international accounting standards - add even more complexity and pressure. If these issues sound familiar, it may be time to assess whether your current business systems are undermining your bottom line. This white paper outlines the 10 essentials of a complete financial management system and explains how the right solution can help you keep pace with today's fast-evolving business environment.
