Review the workflow before adding more integrations
We examine bank feeds, sales imports, purchase capture, tax codes and the customer ledger. A feed connection does not prove a balance is reconciled. Sales imported from an online store must be matched to processor settlements without counting the deposit as another sale.
For multi-location businesses, we first define the reports needed, then review what the current subscription and connected systems can support. Features and app behaviour vary, so proposed changes are tested against sample transactions before they become the ongoing process.
Leave a file the next person can understand
Consistent names, controlled account categories and a short set of documented rules make the file easier to maintain. We agree which tasks the owner performs, who reviews automated entries and how closed periods are protected. Software subscriptions, migration scope and third-party application costs are confirmed separately.
Illustrative example: a shop adds online checkout
A Toronto retailer already imports its storefront sales. Adding an ecommerce connection without checking overlap can duplicate in-store pickup orders. We trace representative orders through each system, choose the source of truth and document how refunds and combined payouts should appear.
Questions about this work
Must I switch from my current software?
No. We assess the existing file and workflow first. A migration is appropriate only when the benefits justify the disruption and the scope is agreed.
Do you guarantee a particular integration will work?
No. Availability and behaviour depend on the vendor, subscription and business setup. We check the actual configuration and reconcile sample results.
