It’s no secret that we love using the latest technology to improve our clients (and our own) efficiency and business processes. There’s nothing better than saving time (and therefore money) with clever technology. But sometimes, we adopt so much technology that it can have the opposite effect. Technology should supercharge your business life and not complicate it.
Here are five mighty ways to have you and your team working smarter and faster with simple and efficient solutions.
- Use the Cloud
Your accounting systems should be more than just a super-charged excel sheet and thanks to Cloud technology, it can be. Business owners on the go can manage their workload at any time from anywhere with Xero. What’s more, it’s award-winning add-on Futrli is a powerful 3-way forecasting engine and automated monitoring.

- Forecast growth
Understanding your business and using the data to make effective, strategic decisions is vital to the success of your business. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are a great way to monitor your business decisions all-year round. With the help of your accountant and Cloud technology, you will be able to identify and measure key areas on a regular basis.

- Stay Compliant
Australia’s taxation system is complex. To avoid non-compliance, all businesses must keep up to date with the latest adjustments to our taxation system. Fortunately, there’s a wealth of information out there – if you know where to look. For starters, we blog regularly (that’s right here!) on any major changes and share real-time information on our Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn pages.
