5 tips to optimise your finances

Philippe was the head of the IT department in a prominent accountancy company when he thought up the concept of his automated record keeping platform TOCO. In this article, he gives you 5 valuable tips to optimise your financial record keeping.

1. Experiment

Don’t get scared off. There are many good tools on the market that help you take your first steps towards a clear and efficient financial record keeping system.

2. Link the silos

Your bank, your internal books, your own records, your accountant… they might as well be islands. Bridge the gaps!

3. Take the lead towards your accountant

Make your accountant meet your expectations. Explain to them how they can do better and decide for yourself what you need.

4. Reorganise

Don’t move mountains, but make digital first a priority. Ask suppliers, customers and, of course, colleagues to do the same. It’s almost black and white, but working digitally for 100% has the best chance of success.

5. Change

It seems obvious. Digital transformation is now on the agenda for every industry in the world, even for the smallest companies. So: embrace change. Embrace cloud technology. And embrace people. The only constant here is change and finding stability in the changing tides.

Armed with these 5 tips for streamlining your financial record keeping system you’ll optimise the entire process!
