Nowadays, many SMEs are beginning to conduct their business online via multiple E-commerce platforms, for instance, Shopee, Lazada, and others.  While it is often possible to only emphasize business sales, in the meantime,  underestimates the importance of managing finances and cash flow. Most businesses already transform their business online. However, when they begin to manage their accounting process, they still have to enter the bills and invoices one by one or type them into an Excel spreadsheet manually. It makes the process troublesome and even more painful while it comes to manage to account!  

Boss, let’s share with you some facts. While you are expanding your business scales, if you just rely on Excel to manage your business accounting process, as a result, the data scattered in multiple archives has become outdated, and there have even been conflicts in the digital calculation format! This will affect either you or your employees to spend more time verifying data, which will result in less productivity and become an investment that does not pay off! 

Problems often faced by SMEs while applying the traditional accounting model

If the worst comes to worst, may lead to problems in the assessment of corporate tax returns.

(2) Low Efficiency of Information Processing

Traditional methods such as Excel billing or traditional offline accounting systems, there are certain restrictions. The business owner cannot log in to the system whenever they want to track or check financial processes through portable electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and others. They have to go back to the offices and open certain computers then only can do their works. Therefore, this also reflects that the traditional methods cannot cooperate with the Work-from-Home trends due to the epidemic, and provides real-time support for business work unless employees move the entire desktop computer back to their home. Well, how is it possible?! 

(3) Traditional Mode System Is Inflexible 

Traditional accounting systems are usually more suitable for accountants with accounting experience to operate, simple traditional accounting processing mode will also rely on manual analysis and display of data, unable to fulfill management’s multi-dimensional reporting requirements in real-time, lack of financial foresight and alert functions. It requires manpower to set up reports that are more suitable for company development for the purpose of analysis and evaluation.

Companies should invest in a system that brings high efficiency to the company
