As our client continued to expand throughout the Americas, many of its critical accounting and finance functions relied on manual data entry, data manipulation, and report generation. It needed a partner that could automate complex business processes to increase accuracy, throughput, and cost savings.
Accounting and finance data was coming from fragmented systems.
Manual accounting and finance processes were consuming significant resources: time, cost, risk, audit and compliance, and talent.
Tax processes were being delayed and were not error-free.
