Data analytics

Are you getting the most out of your accounting software? Let us help you find out. And if you’re not, we can help with that too.

By providing us access to your cloud-based software, we will analyse how you are currently using it, and look for things like duplicated transactions, multi-coded contacts or overpayments to help to identify inefficiencies and bad data. We offer this support in 3 different ways:

    Data Review

    A review of transactions to highlight possible errors or inconsistencies in data input*

    • Identify potential issues in several common areas (duplicated contacts/multi-coded contacts/contact defaults/duplicated transactions/overpayments/transactions without attachments)
    • Highlight any ‘red flag’ areas for you to review 

    *Note: You must be on Xero to benefit from a data review
