On the Topic of Accounting Automation

Here are some basics. If you own a business then you have sales work that needs to get done and accounting work that needs to get done. In 2015 we use software to manage these work efforts improving our efficiency and helping us replicate routine tasks.

Typically sales software and accounting software are two totally different applications, after all each serves a separate purpose. That said, the sales system has the revenue and receipts data the accounting system needs to do its work preparing you P&Ls and Statement of Cash Flows. Some outputs of the sales system are the inputs of the accounting system. Many companies transfer this data manually, sometimes through printed reports other times through cutting and pasting and emailing spreadsheets.


Think of all the time you would save if you didn't have to do that manually. How much effort could be applied to more valuable tasks if you didn't have to spend time on having people enter data. Automating data entry is a benefit of the 2Touch DataKey.
