Financial Accounting Software: What CFOs Expect

Written by SWK Technologies | Fri, Aug 14, 2015

Is Your Financial Accounting Software Helping You Make the Right Decisions?

As the CFO, your business counts on you to make the right decisions. That’s high pressure. The financial data that drives your company forward is your responsibility to present.  In order to do your job efficiently, you need to be able to analyze the data from your financial accounting software quickly and efficiently.

Today’s post offers resources to find solutions that will help you get the right data in a timely manner so you can make the right decisions.

Working hard is hardly working for you

As the CFO, you decide the budget that determines the flow of your business. You review the numbers and analyze them. You’re the go-to person for business growth facts – not just vision.

However, all those numbers and all that analysis take their toll.

Working late into the night is not a good use of your time, and it can be exhausting when you are futilely trying to find necessary information in your systems. If you feel that you’re not using your time well, you probably aren’t. Because you’re overworked and stressed, you’re more inclined to make poor decisions.

Efficiency is your solution

Don’t be inefficient with your time. Don’t waste time to find data. After all, you are the motor of your company.
When looking for a solution that will help you do your job better, there are always three things you should ensure that a new system has:

  • Steadfast security
  • 100% accessibility
  • Flexibility to change your system whenever you want

All of these features are available with an integrated accounting system… but some are better than others; not all accounting systems are created equally.

Ask the right questions

Download and read this white paper, “What CFOs Look for in Financial Accounting Software,” to determine the three most important questions you need to be able to ask to ensure that your new accounting system qualifies in keeping your company competitive.

By reading this white paper, you will be informed. The suggestions and tips in the white paper will prepare you for selecting a new accounting system.
