Technology is rapidly changing the way accountants perform and manage month-end activities. Spreadsheets, email, and shared drives no longer should slow us down. Automation generally supercharges any process and brings its value to the forefront. To get to the next level of closing, automation is a must so that repetitive, predictable, and laborious tasks can be automated.

Join us as we present a "sneak peek" into SkyStem's month-end close solution – ART. In under four weeks, your team can start reaping the benefits of month-end close automation by vastly reducing spreadsheets, cut down on reconciliation work, speed up the month-end close, and better manage your remote team.

Some results our customers have enjoyed include:

  • Reduction of reconciliation volume by 10 to 40%
  • Increasing the speed of close processes
  • Saving time during audits
  • Staying up to date on close status in real-time
