Find out how much spreadsheet and SaaS sprawl is costing Accounting and Audit — and where a purpose-built internal tool pays off.

Signs of tool sprawl in 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.
  • Tax preparation is a copy-paste exercise across five systems; review notes pile up because reviewers can't see what the preparer actually did.
