Financial service organisations are under increased pressure to ensure transparency and accuracy for the sake of their profitability, reputation and longevity. Maintaining this accuracy and visibility can be a challenge.
Many organisations operating in the financial services industry still rely on spreadsheets for their finance, accounting and reporting processes, especially around the financial close. A spreadsheet-driven close is time consuming and inefficient and is also very risky. A simple spreadsheet error can lead to a financial disaster, from unhappy shareholders, to fines, or even the end of a business.
Spreadsheets are also unable to provide the big picture of an organisation’s finances and provide information as to who is on schedule with closing tasks. This means decisions are not made on real-time data and finance and accounting staff are bogged down with manual tasks, instead of focusing on analysis. Spreadsheets are also a hindrance to scalability. To grow effectively, any financial organisations must scale effectively in every process, including matching transactions, managing multiple currencies and validating. Spreadsheet-driven closes mean recruiting more accounting staff to keep up with the increasing workload involved in the expanding close.
