Smart Accounting System
SAS is a smart business concept created for collaborative accounting and financial operations. Covering all major accounting functions, SAS leverages an intelligent workflow concept and is powered by a well-designed system of apps that are easy to implement and use.
​
In simple words, SAS is a alternative, cheaper and more efficient way to manage accounting and related function for any small or mid-sized business.
To enable an accounting function, at the very least, a business has to do the following:
Hire an accountant (or a team depending upon the size of the organization)
​
​Design accounting processes, documents and policies.
​
Buy hardware (computers and peripherals)
​
Buy an accounting application (software) and configure it.​
​
Implement the system.
In majority of the cases, it takes a long time to get all the above pieces in place. The process is expensive and it requires extensive efforts to get to a point where the system produces desired results.​
​
SAS shortens this journey by managing business accounting with a plug & play like concept.
Instead of taking the five enabling steps given above, you simply signup for a SAS account by paying a small enablement fee followed by an even smaller monthly fee.
​
Upon signup, SAS experts review your business model and your business environment and expertly devise accounting processes which are most suitable and are aligned with your business objectives.
​
You are given an option to choose between few of the world-leading cloud accounting software which are then expertly configured for your needs.
​
​A dedicated team of well-trained smart accountants begin to process your accounting data. Your financial operations become smooth and you get instant access to perpetually updated business reports kept in cloud.
How Smart Accounting System practically works?
System configuration & enablement
So you decided (possibly through your discussions with ACS solutions agent) which SAS solutions suits you the best and have signed up. Given below is what happens next:
Technology
ACS support agent enables your licenses for all apps to be used in your SAS account and you receive login details. For instance, if you have opted for QuickBooks online as your main accounting software, you will receive login details for 05 users license of QuickBooks online plus subscription.
​
Similarly, your access to all other apps (that are included in your SAS account) is established and you are given login details.
Connectivity enablement testing
All apps and manual processes connected with your SAS account eco system are tested by your dedicated team to ensure if everything is working the way intended. Dummy data and dummy documents are used for a short test run which serves not only the system testing purpose but also further enhances your comfort with the new & improved environment.
Workflow configuration
Using especially developed technology enabled forms as well as a dedicated online interview session (done through video meeting tools) a system workflow map is developed.
​
Based on the agreed workflow map, ACS support agent will configure your SAS account ecosystem to suit your needs.
Introduction with your team
Your account manager introduces him/herself along with the dedicated team which will (from this point in time) be your own accounting team. All communication channels are configured and are tested to ensure reliability.
System training
ACS success team conducts an extensive training session to empower you with all the related knowledge which you need to fully benefit from your SAS account.
​
For instance, you are trained on how to extract accounting & business reports out of your cloud accounting system, how to push the source data to the cloud storage and how to use the workflow automation apps like CRM or expense approval utility etc.
System documentation/manual
You receive a copy of agreed system flow documentation which describes all the major links within the value chain.
Confidentiality Assurance
Your confidentiality needs are reassessed (initially these are established during workflow configuration stage) through a senior level review to ensure if 100% compliance has been achieved.
You receive a “let us begin” email
The email serves as a confirmation that we are now ‘good to go’
Beyond Initial Enablement
Now that you are good to go, there is nothing between you and the joys of a fascinatingly efficient accounting system. Given below is how it works from this point onwards:
The opening balances (and also historic data where the contract defines its inclusion) are imported to your new cloud accounting system by your assigned team.
​
Source data sync begins
It is really very simple and could take many shapes and forms. For instance:
For retail value chains, your POS system is directly linked to your dedicated cloud folders, pushing all your sales data to secure cloud folders.
​
Your purchase requisition app is linked to your accounting software which pushes your approved requisitions as purchase orders to the accounting system.
​
Your field services & expense approval app is linked to your accounting software which pushes your approved expenses to the ledger.
​
Your secretary simply takes snaps of the source documents using her iPhone which automatically sync with your secure cloud document folders.
​
Your project or sales staff has spreadsheets or similar format information which they need to pass on to accounts for invoicing. Instead of passing on manually to an inhouse accountant, they simply push these to dedicated cloud document folders.
​
Employees time tracking app is linked to your accounting software.
