Whether we talk about financial institutions, consulting firms or industry-specific business, they all need streamlined finance and accounting services to optimize cash flow management. However, this involves several complex processes and an ever-increasing volume of financial data that needs to be sorted, organized and aggregated for faster approvals and balanced books.
As your business operations expand, so does the volume of financial transactions and the corresponding data that needs to be processed. The decision to outsource finance and accounting processes is an increasingly popular choice among SMEs and high-growth companies to standardize finance and account functions.
However, you cannot entrust your finance and accounting processing to just any company, you need to partner up with a successful and experienced outsourcing company that offers fully outsourced solutions that match your needs.
ARDEM has considerable industry expertise in providing end-to-end solutions for both financial corporations and businesses with high-volume financial transactions.
Let us discuss further why the choice to outsource finance and accounting is a step in the right direction for your organization:
Hassle-free Invoice Processing
Swift processing and approval of invoices results in shorter payment cycles and ensures optimum functioning. However, processing all invoices received by an enterprise or organization is no small feat. We are talking about invoices received from different vendors and suppliers in different formats with possible errors, duplicacy or even handwritten bills. All of this needs to be standardized, analyzed and cleaned before it can be submitted for approval. In-house processing can drive up your operating costs and can include a rather high percentage of manual errors. Automation of the process, on the other hand, requires you to acquire additional resources including both high-tech equipment and highly skilled workers to carry out all processes smoothly.
The right step is to partner up with an experienced finance and accounting BPO company that has specialized financial services that are adapted and customized to your company requirements and standards. We further employ double-key entry and a series of validation checks to ensure that you get high-quality data free from inaccuracies while eliminating redundancies like duplicate bills or incomplete data.
At ARDEM, we offer you advanced solutions with a digital invoice automation platform that offers you the combined advantage of bright, analytical minds, robust processes and proprietary technology for you to tackle your invoice processing challenges.
Accounts Payable and Receivable Processing
Some more examples of finance processes that may cause headaches and sleepless nights is handling accounts payable along with processing checks received and the bank reconciliation process.
When seen together accounts payable and accounts receivable are the most important processes for any business to run smoothly. Accounts payable needs to be processed accurately to get an exact picture of the company’s liabilities while accounts receivable help identify sources of revenue that can be used to reconcile said liabilities. We manage your entire accounts receivable process by entering received payments and deposits, bill payment, and processing and even entering payroll data from third-party software.
