Get the most out of your accounting software with Fusion CPA
At Fusion, we understand the challenges faced by lean teams and recognize that many businesses, while they make use of technology, don’t always fully understand its capabilities. This is generally because they don’t have the time and know-how when it comes to software migration and preparation requirements. Sometimes you need to migrate data from one system to another or you need to prepare your system to correctly manage new integration. This is where a technologically-savvy CPA that understands your business needs and different software offerings, comes in.
This is one of our greatest passions at Fusion – we prioritize supporting our clients to achieve the best results from their technology. Our CPAs have saved businesses time and money by building bespoke integrations to enhance efficiency through technology, in the following ways:
- We have made use of Power Query from Excel to aid clients in creating automated workflows that will take thousands of rows of data in CSV, and automatically transformed it into a format eligible for upload to their accounting software.
- We have used Power Automate to leverage Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to integrate different business apps instead of purchasing tools that will connect the different software. Power Automate essentially takes the transformed data from the Power Query data transformation and uploads it safely to the accounting software.
Our team of highly skilled CPAs combines their expertise in accounting and technology to implement and integrate cutting-edge accounting software tailored to your unique needs. With our services, you can achieve a lean and efficient finance function to empower your business to thrive in today’s competitive landscape.
