Switching Accounting Software: What to Expect with Access Finance

Switching accounting software is something many people are very wary about, possibly due to experiences they had many years ago but we’re here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be a drama.

The aim of your Access implementation team is to get you using Access Financials as soon as possible. That way you can start to realise the value of your switch to online accounting software quickly and with the minimum of fuss.

But your project doesn’t stop there, and we know that there are plenty of things to do once your new finance system is in place.

In this post, we wanted to give you an outline of what you can expect both before you switch and after you start using Access Financials and give you some tips about how to switch accounting software.

Why customers switch to Access Finance Accounting Software

Before we answer the question “how to switch to Access Financials” we have to answer Why switch”?"

One of the key reasons that we find people choose to come to us is the sheer number of applications available within the Access stable.

This means that whilst all of our customers use the core financial management system, they are then able to add on functionality that allows them to develop almost a bespoke end-to-end system.

“I have never found the same number of applications available from one supplier. The Access suite provides a lot of well-integrated pieces of software" David Kay, Director at Adlib

Whether your aim is to go paper-free with a fully-featured document management system module (ADM) or you want to integrate your accounting software with payroll, HR and financials so that you have one source of the truth, The Access Group provides it all.

We find our customers love;

  • The efficiency - no more switching in and out of apps. With Access Financials it is all in your Workspace
  • The automation - saving time and effort by removing manual processes
  • The control - great controls and defined workflows mean you can relax
  • The visibility - reporting has never been easier with one source of the truth
  • The paperless office - efficient and streamlined processes mean speed and accuracy
  • The convenience - you don’t need to worry about maintenance or security of your software, we do it all!

"We now have better controls in place and because you get better visibility with Access, you can check that it’s working. We’ve saved half a person." Julie Ball - Financial Controller, APH

"The impact of Access on our business has been significant. We've moved from an organisation run on paper processes to an organisation which is fully digital. It's transformed the way we work" Andrew Fennell, Chief Strategy and Technology Officer, Chevron
