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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

To ensure quality, your accounting and related records are perpetually reviewed by highly skilled professionals.

​

Potential issues are highlighted and recommendations for resolution are made.
