Problem #6: Client communication is less efficient 

When it comes to accounting tech tools, these tools can either improve client collaboration or leave clients confused and frustrated. You can tell which way your current software trends by paying attention to a typical client’s voicemails and emails—are you constantly being asked questions about invoices, documents, and status updates, or do your clients manage to stay on top of your work together? 

Reason to move to all-in-one software  

Using software packed with client communication tools like eSignature, secure file-sharing, an easy-to-use client portal, and detailed invoices empowers clients to stay up-to-date on their accounts, saving you time and boosting client satisfaction. 

Problem #7: Unnecessary subscription costs cut into firm profits 

Software isn’t free, and subscription costs add up. Even worse, they add up without delivering the desired return on investment. According to Flexera’s State of ITAM 2022 report, 29% of SaaS software spend is underutilized or wasted. 

Reason to move to all-in-one software  

To keep things simple and cost-effective, use a comprehensive software solution—you’ll lower your monthly software fees while improving your firm’s efficiency, yielding further savings by reducing administrative hours. 

Problem #8: Your reporting and analytics is siloed 

Chances are, your firm is sitting on a wealth of valuable data that could be used to improve business practices, target profitable clients or lines of business, or identify underperforming associates. But when accounting data is split across multiple programs, it’s difficult—if not impossible—to gain any actionable insights from the data you collect. 

Reason to move to all-in-one software  

With a comprehensive practice management software, you get 30,000-ft view of critical operational and financial data. This leads to more efficient decision-making and easier scaling as firms can better identify their most profitable associates, services, and clients. 

Problem #9: Tracking client payments is cumbersome 

Getting paid is an essential aspect of keeping any accounting firm afloat, but busy accountants rarely have the time or the bandwidth to follow up with clients on overdue payments or underpayments. Although all accountants need to make sure they are getting paid, identifying delinquent accounts becomes difficult when different software programs are used to track time, send bills, and receive payments. 

Reason to move to all-in-one software  

Using a fully integrated system to track time and send and receive payments is the simplest way to keep your firm in the green year after year with tools like automated time tracking, recurring invoicing, detailed invoice templates, and online payments.
