5 Steps to Continuous Accounting – a Modern Approach to Closing the Books

Add bookmark

Finance is shifting from traditional, manual accounting processes to more automated, flexible, cloud-based systems.

And yet, manual processes* are still the #1 roadblock, with much of the resource tied up at the end of the accounting period.

Traditionally built for rigid systems that didn’t integrate easily with general ledgers or provide accurate visibility into the chart-of-accounts, R2R's 'start-stop' approach tends to manifest problems that significantly impact the business. And as a linear process, results are produced at the end of a given period – a month, a quarter, or a year. By the time these results are in, the information is out of date.
