You may have started your business able to manage your clients and communications with spreadsheets and notepads but, as a business grows, there comes a time when your business really needs a more comprehensive way to look after the practice and keep things ticking over.

Accounting practice software can take the hassle out of the day-to-day tasks required when running an accounting practice. If you’re finding that your to-do list is filling up with non-business critical tasks, it might be time to look for software that can help you get back to focusing on what really matters: your business.

Our quick checklist is a great way to see if your business could benefit from practice management software. Have a read and – if you can recognise yourself in any of the points below – it might be worth getting in touch to find out more about the benefits of software like Senta.

Do you find yourself spending too much time on manual tasks?

If you or your staff end up overwhelmed by repetitive manual tasks each day, this impacts the business as a whole and results in bottlenecks and a business functioning less than optimally.

Perhaps client on-boarding is too slow, or invoicing is eating up hours of your time; either way, the right software can make it easier to manage the multiple hat-wearing that practice management requires.

Are you missing deadlines without helpful reminders and notifications?

When a lot of tasks and projects are running at the same time, it can be easy to overlook dates and see minor errors start to creep in.

Of course, mistakes happen from time to time – that’s natural. But without an effective way of keeping on top of everything, inaccurate data or missed deadlines can translate into a poor experience for your clients and harm your business’ reputation.

Do you have complete visibility of your practice – without being overwhelmed by data?

Tracking who’s working on what – and when – is a great way to stay on top of workloads and make juggling tasks that little bit easier. Plus it makes it easier to identify areas where efficiencies could be improved.

Effective accounting practice management software is able to provide the essential information you need, in a digestible way, when you need it. Customisable workflows and dashboards make it even easier to pull out everything you’d like to know and use that information to your advantage.

Do you need to work anywhere, at any time?

Even if your spreadsheets are accurate and the system works well for your business, software can offer you, your staff and your clients a freedom and flexibility that physical documents simply can’t match.

Especially in today’s post-COVID world where remote working is the norm, being able to access files in the cloud and work from anywhere is essential for a business to run effectively and efficiently.
