SkyStem LLC, a leading provider of automated month-end close and account reconciliation software, is pleased to announce their feature on FMStv. In this episode, SkyStem’s Head of Sales, Nancy Wu, discusses how to close more efficiently to make time for special projects. As head of sales at an automated month-end close solution provider, Ms. Wu explains how the repetitive and time-consuming day-to-day tasks accountants have will never go away, especially when it comes to the month-end close. As a result, these monotonous tasks prevent accountants from spending their time in a more effective way.
“In order to streamline the close, we must first create an environment where information is readily available for anyone to do the work,” says Ms. Wu. “Avoid a paper-based process. Establish a central repository online instead. Look for ways to implement electronic sign-offs and automated workflow so that the administrative side of the close can be minimized. Certain types of reconciliations should be automated so that accountants don’t have to manually work on them each month.”
Ms. Wu continues to outline ways for accountants to reduce the time spent on the month-end close process, indicating the benefits by using these tools. The feature shows a fresh outlook on the process where there are opportunities to become more efficient, improve internal controls, infuse technology and win back time.
