Trend #2. Data insights driving better decision making

As discussed with trend #1, gaining time through automated technology allows accountants to focus on strategy, growth, and profitability with their clients, providing them with insights, advice and added value.

Gone are days when accounting teams were seen as bookkeepers or number crunchers, processing transactions or working discretely behind the scenes.

Today, the right technology can save accountants time and provide them with instant access to powerful reports and analyses – also generated automatically – which deliver the accurate insights they need to be more proactively strategic and advisory.

Such adopted technology can often be accessed by staff at different remote working locations, providing a single source of data insights and reports for all to see. Our Joiin platform lets you collaborate better, and with hybrid working from home and the office, platforms like ours continue to help accountants and finance teams successfully collaborate and deliver services remotely.

What do greater insights mean for you?

A seismic shift away from a more static mode of working (simply crunching numbers) to one where data is dynamic and enables you to grasp the figures and make fast, accurate decisions quickly; be inquisitive; explore ‘what will happen next?’ and predict outcomes.
