1
The problem
The finance team re-typed the same numbers into three spreadsheets every month, and still checked the totals by hand.
2
What we did
We moved invoicing, expenses and payroll into one accounting system.
We connected the bank feeds and set rules for the regular transactions.
We replaced the three spreadsheets with one monthly report.

What changed
Finance work fell from 1,240 hours a year to 828. The 412 hours saved now go into credit control.
“The month-end spreadsheet marathon is gone.”
