Accounting is the new modern tool used by businesses and firms for money management and reliable financial data. The technology embedded in accounting, accountants today are managing modern finances.

The Evolution of Outsourced Accounting

Once upon a time, outsourcing accounting meant offloading bookkeeping and reporting. It saved costs and was convenient. But it depended a lot on manual processes and slow TAT. Outsourcing in today’s world is not about geography or bad paper anymore. Gone are the barriers of collaboration, distance and finance thanks to technology.

Outsourced accounting solutions today leverage technology, analytics and automation for greater strategic value than ever before. Outsourced teams, powered by digitalisation, help in forecasting, compliance management, performance monitoring, and cash flow optimisation, among many others, and not just record-keeping.

What is Cloud Accounting?

How outsourced accountants work with clients is very different because of cloud accounting. Zoho Books, Tally Prime Server, QuickBooks Online, and Xero can store your financial data. Cloud platforms provide a storage system that can be accessed anytime and anywhere using any device.

One no longer has to possess physical files, local backups, and data transfers with this transfer. Cloud accounting provides business owners with real-time collaboration with their outsourced CFOs and accounting team. All transactions, updates, and reports are reflected in real time and are completely transparent.

Starters’ CFO ensures all clients get cloud systems that allow for quick access and faster reporting of financials while improving the accuracy of reports.

Automation Improving Speed and Accuracy

It is impractical to perform accounting work processes manually. Automation has fixed these problems by performing repetitive financial tasks like creating invoices, reconciling bank statements, tracking expenses, GST calculation, and sending payment reminders.

Automating accounting and compliance gets data captured fast and accurately. By minimising human error and enabling efficiency, accountants are now able to undertake financial analysis and much more.

Automation also ensures data consistency. When there are many people doing the money management, that creates inconsistency. Due to standardised rules and classifications, automated systems improve reliability in the accounting system.

The Starters’ CFO uses a range of automation tools so that projects can have timely and hassle-free delivery of financial operations.

AI and Data Analytics Elevating Financial Insight

Powerful technologies like artificial intelligence and data analytics are used in outsourced accounting. Tools powered by AI will analyse transaction patterns. They will also predict financial trends, find anomalies and deliver predictions.

Thanks to this change, outsourced accountants can be a source of strategic insight instead of number reporting. The companies can anticipate cash flow problems, detect leakage of costs, fine-tune prices, and anticipate performance.

Starters’ CFO incorporates AI-powered analytics into its advisory services. We help our clients create significantly smart dashboards with predictive models for actionable insights. This helps in maintaining long-term growth.

Stronger Compliance Through Digital Tools

Indian businesses can certainly use a hand at managing compliance owing to the multitude of regulatory guidelines to comply with, such as GST filing, TDS, MCA reporting, tax filings and others.  When compliance comes from a manual process, missed deadlines and errors in the filing may impact operations. All of this can have great financial penalties.

Compliance tools that offer reminders, forms, records, and more make work easy for the corporate world. The above tools also help to generate audit-ready reports.

Starters’ CFO leverages technology for compliance workflows so that clients are always walking in lockstep with the government. With the help of our systems, we keep track of each filing date and validate the entries. Moreover, we create a digital audit trail to ensure accuracy and on-time filing.

Real-Time Reporting for Better Decision-Making

Traditional accounting was usually due after a certain time period.  In today’s fast-paced world, information delay weakens decision-making.

With the help of technology, we ensure that the dashboards get real-time updates that deliver reports on any financial activity involving a sale, expense, cash, receivable and payable. Business owners no longer have to wait for updates that are done periodically. They get to see and analyse the financial performance immediately and then make an informed decision right away.

With customised live dashboards aiding corporations in easy visualisation of performance, financial status, etc., Starters’ CFO and its easy access to finance.

Enhanced Data Security and Fraud Prevention

If you don’t have proper security in your financial operations, you will lose severely. Software solutions for accounting include greater safety measures to ensure maximum protection. SSL/TLS encryption, multi-factor authentication, redundancy of servers, role-based access control, and others.

Fraud detection in advance is possible as AI systems can also track unusual spending or any inconsistency in the data.

At Starters’ CFO, we take data security very seriously. We utilise top-notch platforms that guarantee confidentiality.

These secure deposit locations are able to store your cash and valuables safely.

Collaboration made easy for companies and teams

Today, you can have online conversations and send documents to your accountant. In the past, teams collaborated on email, documents, and files. Now, they collaborate in the cloud, on chat platforms, and system integrations.

Because this occurs in tandem, you consistently receive timely, clear, and accessible financial information. This also enhances accountability and reduces delays. Moreover, everyone is working with the same accurate data.

Starters’ CFO works together with clients on several tools to ensure constant alignment that allows for seamless execution and consistent delivery.

Scalability and Flexibility for Growing Businesses

As organisations grow, things with their money grow too. They begin to make more transactions, tap into newer markets, open more branches, or expand further. It is difficult to scale a manual system. An outsourced accounting operation utilising technology scales easily.

Cloud platforms, automated tools, and modular accounting should grow with their businesses.  They don’t require any extra infrastructure cost or labour cost.

We can build your system to help you maintain control and effectiveness as you grow, as the need arises.
