Too much time spent re-typing, chasing and checking

"We spend every month-end copying numbers from one file to another." That is what we often hear in a first conversation. Invoices are prepared by hand, payment reminders depend on someone remembering, and information received by email has to be typed again into the accounting software.

Every manual step adds a delay and a risk of error. An invoice sent late is a payment collected late. A mistyped figure is an hour lost tracking it down. Meanwhile, your admin team is not working on the things that truly need their judgment.

From manual entry to a process that runs itself

Before

  • Invoices prepared one by one from notes or Excel sheets
  • Payment reminders sent whenever someone thinks of it
  • Quotes written from scratch for every request
  • Expense reports and email data re-typed into your systems

After

  • Invoices generated automatically from data already entered
  • Reminders sent on a schedule you define
  • Quotes produced from templates and your current prices
  • Information extracted from emails and documents, then filed in the right place
  1. Map your workflowsWe follow an invoice, a quote or a document from request to payment to find the double entry and the waiting time.
  2. Choose what to automate firstWe start with the repetitive tasks that take the most time or cause the most errors, where the payoff comes fastest.
  3. Build on your toolsWe connect your accounting software, your email and your existing files instead of forcing a new platform on you.
  4. Test, train, adjustEvery automation is tested on real cases, then handed over to your team with simple training and any adjustments needed.

The tools you already use

We work with the accounting and productivity software common in SMEs. QuickBooks is often where invoices and payments end up, while Power Automate or Zapier orchestrate the hand-offs between email, Excel and your other applications. DocuSign completes the picture when quotes or contracts need a signature.

What's included

  • An analysis of your current admin and finance processes
  • Design and implementation of the selected automations
  • Automated expense reports: submission, approval and compilation in a single flow
  • Testing with your own invoices, quotes and documents
  • Training so your team can run things on its own
  • Ongoing or time-limited support options after launch

How it unfolds

Everything starts with a free efficiency analysis (about one hour). We then propose a prioritized plan and implement the automations in phases, quick wins first, so your team benefits from the first results without waiting for the whole project to finish.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to change our accounting software?

No. We start from your existing tools, such as QuickBooks, Excel and your email, and connect them. We are vendor-independent: we have no software to sell you.

Will automation replace my admin team?

It replaces repetitive tasks, not judgment. Your team stays in control of exceptions and decisions, and spends far less time copying data.

Can the project be done fully remotely?

Yes. Our services are delivered online, worldwide. In Greater Montreal and the Laurentides, we can also come to you when needed.

What happens after launch?

You choose: ongoing active support or time-limited assistance. Either way, we can optimize the automations as your business evolves.
