Introduction

Acc Pro (Singapore) Group (Acc Pro) is a growing, value-adding technology consulting firm in Singapore. They are dedicated to helping their clients build sustainable and profitable businesses.

They provide compliance and advisory services, and assist clients to automate their accounting processes by harnessing the power of cloud accounting.

The problem

When Acc Pro was first established, they were using an accounting solution that required tedious, manual book-keeping. It was frustrating and time consuming because they had to receive the physical documents from clients, and manually key in the data before they could produce reports.

Giving clients timely and strategic advice was key to practice growth, and the outdated software was making the process time consuming and overly complex. 

The solution

Acc Pro’s Co-Founder and Group Business Development Director Victor Goh headed up the selection process.

“After an extensive market review we selected QuickBooks Online because of the user-friendly features and we really like the way it links the products and services to the chart of accounts, as well as the autogeneration of accounting data at the back end said Mr. Goh.

Getting access to quality data in a timely fashion was vital. Acc Pro was impressed by the thorough reporting capabilities in QuickBooks Online. There are over 65 standard reports that allow accountants to drill down to profit, project, and cost centres.

When you have access to this type of information you can immediately identify issues within a business and resolve them, before they impact business performance.

Budgeting

Budgeting is much easier in QuickBooks as well. Historical data can be copied and pasted when preparing budgets. This has been a huge time saver for Acc Pro. They also like the ability to break down budget by customers, and unlimited profit and cost centres.

Reporting

The graphical reports assist Acc Pro and their clients to keep track of working capital and the overall performance of a business.

Monitoring receivables is much easier now as Acc Pro has real-time access to client files. Dashboards clearly show those accounts that are in arears and automatic reminders can be established to reduce the number of outstanding invoices.

“The inventory function in QuickBooks is a potent feature, it closely monitors levels and helps us to ensure client funds are not tied up with excess inventory,” said Mr. Goh.
