Cost of Manual Work — Accounting and Audit

See what repetitive manual work is costing Accounting and Audit teams each year — where busy season is a death march — staff turnover hits 25%+ in the first 18 months because the work is 70% PBC chasing and document reformatting.

What this means for Accounting and Audit

  • Busy season is a death march — staff turnover hits 25%+ in the first 18 months because the work is 70% PBC chasing and document reformatting.
  • Every client uses a different portal (yours, theirs, ShareFile, OneDrive, email, paper) — half of audit hours go to gathering and reformatting evidence.
  • Audit documentation in the workpaper system still requires manual re-keying from PDFs, bank statements, and Excel exports.

Where it pays to act

  • Document understanding for bank statements, invoices, contracts, leases, and supporting schedules — pulling structured data into the workpaper or tax system.
  • Risk assessment and analytical-procedure copilots that surface anomalies in the GL for audit team review.
