The Secret to Editing Financial Statements with Ease

One of your most important tasks as an accountant is producing financial statements for your clients. Gone are the days of laboriously doing your clients’ accounts by hand. Automation and innovative solutions have made it easier to produce accurate and comprehensive financial statements, enabling you to dedicate more of your time to providing expert advice for your clients.

Streamlining your workflow and removing manual processes is key to staying ahead of the competition. Therefore, it’s important that you are always on the lookout for new accounting solutions to try and remove manual processes. One such process you can now improve is editing financial statements.

Editing financial statements can sometimes feel like a never-ending process, hours going by just to make sure everything is right. You may not have even noticed how manual it can be. Does this sound familiar? You may spend hours after producing your statements reviewing and double-checking your work. Many accountants will take a pen and paper and take note of any changes that must be made. After this, return to your compliance function in your accounts production software and make these changes. Additionally, you will have to review the accounts again to ensure the changes you make have been implemented.

For years accountants have asked the question whether there is an easier and less time-consuming way to review and edit your clients’ financial statements. Thankfully, there is!

Surf Accounts Production’s unique editing solution

Making changes to financial statements has never been easier. Surf Accounts Production’s editing feature allows users to edit financial statements directly. When reviewing your clients’ accounts, you can edit on-screen, meaning you no longer have to take notes of changes, manually implement them, and reproduce the accounts. If you see a change that needs to be made, simply click the section and a pop-up box will appear on screen, allowing you to edit your statements directly. Once you are happy with the changes, click save, and if later you decide you would rather keep the original text, simply open the pop-up box again and click revert.

This simple and effective solution can save accountants time and improve the process of reviewing your clients’ financial statements. It also means you have the capacity to review your clients’ accounts quicker and more accurately, leading to the opportunity of acquiring new clients.
