Find Your Cost – Step 1 – You have to have a map
.
Last week I wrote about defining accounting automation by applying a number to the impact automation has on an organization. This came from the idea that automation is only as good as the people, time and effort that is freed up. On Friday I wrote about the different types of time that needs to be evaluated,…

2 Buckets of Time!
.
You know the bucket is a great invention. I tried to do some research on when the bucket was invented and if anyone was able to pin the accomplishment on any one human… and I didn’t find anything. Anyway, as promised from my last post, I am working through a series that supports the idea…

Who should I bring to the dance – vendor that is!
.
I am not a big fan of using the word “vendor” as it pertains to finding a company that sell and services automation software. I believe that if you do accounting automation correctly as a provider you will be more than someone who simply sells software. That’s why I call automation software vendor, “Service Providers”.…

I had an interesting conversation with a person who sells Accounts Payable Automation.

Thanks for making me change!
.
I once heard that only a wet baby enjoys change. However, if you read any of my books (The 8 Pitfalls or The Argument to Automate), then you will get the picture that going from paper to automated is a big change. Not only is it a big change, but most small to medium size companies in the…

5 Steps to a Cost Per Invoice
.
There are 5 steps to calculating cost per invoice. Can you believe there are only 5? Well, believe it, because that’s all there are. I narrowed it down to these 5 steps after working with a cost per invoice study that took what seemed like 5,000 steps to calculate the cost. It wasn’t actually 5,000 steps, but to me and the client…
