We understand and solve your key issues
We build products which are designed to solve our customers' key challenges.
- Struggling to become a more strategic finance team
In recent times, finance teams across all businesses have become a critical powerhouse in helping their organisation stay afloat and drive continued success during uncertain economic times. Many finance teams have a desire and need to drive business strategy and decision making; however, many find this challenging when they don’t have the right tools at their fingertips.
- Can’t keep up with new legislation requirements
With the recent changes of Brexit, Covid-19 regulations, GDPR and Making Tax Digital to name a few, keeping on top of legislation changes can be a real headache for finance. Often older software systems don’t support new changes and this makes complying a lot of manual effort.
- Inefficient use of finance teams time
It’s hard to stay productive when finance teams have many conflicting priorities, often have to help non finance users with processes and are often using outdated software which makes processes lengthier than they need to be.
- Too much time spent on reporting and data governance
Many finance teams can’t get compete visibility of their performance and often spend days before board meetings manipulating data within Excel to make sense of the data in their finance system.

- What is the advantage of using Cloud-based financial management software?
One of the big advantages of moving to the Cloud is that you can access your system anytime, anywhere. This has proven to be critical for businesses facing the challenges of the pandemic. Utilising the Cloud also means all your data is stored safely and securely, so you don’t to have to worry about physical documents and data getting lost or misplaced. Cloud software is priced differently, allowing customers to pay a subscription fee rather than hefty upfront costs. It includes upgrades and licence fees every year, making it much more affordable and cost-effective.
- What is the benefit of integrated document management in financial management software?
Processing supplier invoices is extremely time-consuming and expensive. In addition, delays in invoice processing can result in reduced supplier discounts and late payment penalties. Our software automates and streamlines the processing of supplier invoices, centralising the deposit of financial documents into a secure, easily accessible repository.
- How secure is my data in Cloud-based financial management software?
Cloud Financials from Advanced is based on Amazon Web Services, which is one of the most trusted Cloud platforms globally. Full disaster recovery is provided with 24/7 system availability and 99 per cent product uptime.
- Why do I need SaaS-based financial management software?
Moving to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model means you pay one simple monthly fee for your product, support, account management and services. All upgrades and enhancements are built into the product in real time and included within your monthly subscription costs. This means you won’t be hit with any scary upgrade surprises later on down the line.
- When is the best time to switch to Cloud-based financial management software?
To put it bluntly, now. This year has shown that moving to the Cloud is no longer a ‘nice to have’ but a ‘must have’ for organisations who want to remain agile and access systems remotely with ease. Moving to the Cloud also has cost benefits over time, and can be a good way to reduce on-premise software spend.
