Surf Accounts Production: Flexibility to create financial statements in any format
When it comes to creating final and statutory accounts, having an up to date accounts production software is a necessity. Without competent software, creating financial statements can be a difficult and timely process. As an accountant, the best tools you can have are ones which save you time and make your life easier. There is nothing worse than spending a long time on a task that could be done much quicker.
For example, consider how some accounts production software packages simply provide a standard account format, which you then must edit to suit your clients’ industry needs. Constantly altering headings, adding columns, or conducting any other necessary edits not only wastes time, but the repetitive nature of the task can become frustrating.
