What is an Accounting Solution?

As businesses progress, manual processes and disconnected accounting practices cease supporting business growth. Therefore, businesses seek a sophisticated accounting solution that serves as a unified platform for gathering, documenting, organising, managing, retrieving and distributing accounting data and various financial details.

An advanced accounting solution enhances financial operations by facilitating streamlined data entry and retrieval, thus mitigating the potential for human errors in record-keeping and calculations. It increases financial accuracy and saves time by automating ledger management, invoicing, payroll processing and tax calculations.

What is Dynamics 365 Business Central?

Business Central is Microsoft's cloud-based ERP solution tailored to streamline and automate business processes for small to midsized enterprises. Business Central extends beyond financial capabilities, offering comprehensive tools to connect functions, automate the supply chain, enhance customer interactions and drive data-driven decisions for accelerated business growth and revenue.

What is QuickBooks?

Intuit designed QuickBooks to assist small businesses in managing various financial responsibilities. It includes tasks such as invoicing customers, processing payments for bills, creating reports and facilitating tax preparation. Intuit added web-based features to QuickBooks, like remote access, payroll support, online payments, banking and email functions through Outlook and Google marketing.
