Think you might be outgrowing QuickBooks?
The key signs that your accounting software may be due for an upgrade
Thousands of businesses have made the switch from spreadsheet reporting and manual consolidations to the top QuickBooks alternative and award-winning cloud financial management software, Sage Intacct—but how do you know you’re ready to make the change?
- Your time is being eaten up by inefficient manual processes: Keying in data, orders, and invoices manually can be time-consuming, and you may even have an employee (or two) dedicated to it. This creates the probability of human error, which may impact your business negatively as it grows.
- Your technology is becoming a roadblock: The tools you use should enhance your processes, not hinder them. As your QuickBooks file increases, the system speed decreases. This shortcoming may restrict capabilities, cause a system crash, and result in the loss of necessary data, leading to wasted time re-entering data.
- You’re experiencing impaired financial visibility: Many businesses fail to integrate QuickBooks with key business applications, opting for manual integration points. This practice leads to diminished productivity, increased data entry errors, and revenue leakage, making it challenging to achieve a 360-degree, real-time view of the overall business.
- You’re using spreadsheets to manage complex processes outside of QuickBooks: Organizations with advanced accounting requirements often face the challenge of having to devise workarounds due to the absence of built-in capabilities for complex processes in QuickBooks. The adoption of these workarounds may cause duplicate entry errors or reports relying on incorrect or stale data, introduce inefficiencies into the process, consume extra time and resources, lack control and compliance, and create an additional source of information outside your financial system.
