Repetitive Data Tasks software solution

The key to success within the accounting industry is accuracy and efficiency. However, many accountants find themselves overwhelmed by repetitive data tasks such as entering numbers into a spreadsheet or reconciling bank statements with invoices. These activities take up so much time that they hinder productivity; on top of that, they’re also at risk for mistakes caused by human error. A good solution would be automating these types of duties which will free up more hours for accountants to spend on strategic work that provide higher value.

This article from Chronaiv5, one of the leading cloud solutions providers, takes an in-depth look at automation methods used in accounting systems where repetitive data entry is required frequently. We’ll cover some challenges faced during manual inputting processes and explore different ways this can be done automatically using RPA and OCR technologies as well as AI algorithms coupled with cloud applications integration supported by Chronaiv5 expertise.

The Burden of the Mundane: Why Repetitive Data Tasks Hinder Accounting Efficiency

There are various tasks that need to be performed by accounting firms including bookkeeping, tax preparation, client communication among others but most times what consumes much time for an accountant is performing monotonous jobs which are:

Data Entry

Manually keying-in numbers from invoices, receipts or bank statements into software programs like Excel can be very tiring and prone to errors.

Reconciliation

Comparing figures between bank statement balances vis-à-vis accounts payable/receivable or any other relevant record may sound simple but it’s actually tedious work which often results into mistakes being made due to human fatigue factor

Report Generation

Creating routine financial reports usually entails manipulating data repetitively till desired format is achieved then saving such formatted files as part of standard report templates used monthly/quarterly/yearly basis hence it can easily become boring.

Such tasks have the following effects

Reduced Efficiency

Less time is spent on strategic tasks which add value to clients and the firm at large.

Increased Error Rates

Inaccuracies arising from manual inputting may lead to serious consequences such as wrong tax computations or even fraudulent activities going undetected for long periods of time thus affecting reliability of financial statements prepared by an entity.

Diminished Employee Morale

When a person does same thing over again without any change in routine, they tend to get bored quickly thereby becoming demotivated towards their job resulting into lower productivity levels being realized within organization.

By automating repetitive data tasks, organizations can save time and effort while minimizing errors.

Solutions for Streamlining Repetitive Data Tasks in Accounting

Automation tools like robotic process automation (RPA)

optical character recognition (OCR) and artificial intelligence algorithms coupled with cloud applications integration can be used to automate monotonous jobs performed by accountants during manual processing of records involving repetitive data entry in accounting systems. This is how it works:

Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

RPA software robots mimic human actions such as picking up an invoice, opening Excel then entering corresponding figures into cells before saving document back onto shared drive just like any other normal user would do but this time round some steps are skipped because these bots work faster than humans besides they don’t need pauses between keystrokes therefore speeding up entire task execution period thus reducing boredom experienced by employees doing same thing repeatedly every day throughout year which may lead to more accurate results being obtained eventually since fatigue sets in less frequently now.
