Knock on effects As a result of the economic crisis, you have to keep an even closer eye on your spending. Increasing costs mean shrinking margins. Is a more efficient operation the solution? There is more and more talk about lean and operational excellence. How can you improve the financial processes?

Financial data (not) in orderCan you rely on the financial data from the business being correct and up-to-date? If you want to take opportunities to stay ahead of the competition, you need speed. You need to have an overview at all times if you want to be able to say yes or no quickly. And your main stakeholders must also understand the financial situation to weigh up different options and make good decisions. How do you quickly outline scenarios that everyone can build on?

More and more systemsOf course you see the advantages of automating processes. But what about data? What is recorded where? Am I working with the correct source? That uncertainty will not help you to paint a reliable picture of the company's current financial situation.

More and more rulesInternational Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA). Laws, legislations, regulations and standards in the area of finance and accounting continue to keep you busy. But are they taking more of your time than they should?

Expansion = complexityIs your company crossing borders? Or opening new subsidiaries? If so, the number of rules and standards will only increase. Financial consolidation is a challenge. How do you keep an overview of all of the operations?

The solution for these challenges has already been designed. Exact business software helps controllers to quickly give the business an overview of the total financial situation and the impact of its choices.

Local or international? Profit or non-profit? As a controller, you have to have a better grasp

of the numbers than ever before. And that isn't always easy.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL?

One source containing all the informationData is valuable. That's why you should always handle it with care. If you work together in one system, you will know that data is always up-to-date and checked. One source for all the information. Safe and reliable. That gives you confidence and enables streamlined, accurate processes.

The right answers at the right timeFlexible processes and clean data are the base, but speed is also a major factor in success. You need comprehensive reports that give you clear, up-to-date insight at any time. Want to look at the figures in more detail? How about moving from a global overview to an individual transaction in a couple of clicks? Wouldn't that be great?

Purposeful planningDoing business is about taking risks. Still, you want to reduce those risks as much as is possible. That's why you look ahead. With reliable forecasting and budgeting, you know what you can expect and can anticipate ahead of time.

Flawless audit and complianceBecause the finances have to comply with so many laws and regulations, you want to be fully prepared. Confident that everything is as it should be. With the numbers to prove it always to hand. You need a system that ensures you stay within the boundaries. You certainly don’t want to be uncovering any surprises during an audit.

Ready for new businessRecording information takes time, and everyone knows that time is money. The recording progress needs to be quick and easy, so you can make billable hours and keep an eye on progress. 

Whether your company is large or medium-sized, the figures need to support you in maintaining

total control. They are the basis for fast and clear-cut decision-making. When you’re faced with

a mountain of financial data, it needs to be quick and easy to generate an overview that can help

the business move forward.
