As a business owner or manager, it's crucial for you to be able to see how your business is performing financially, without the delay of waiting for a report from your accountant.
With Profit4's accounting ERP software you can access an up-to-date, real-time profit and loss sheet in just a few clicks. Plus you can create customisable dashboards, showing all your key financial information on one page.
This will enable you to quickly identify any cashflow issues and make better informed financial decisions, improving the overall profitability of your business.
Everyone in the business using one system
Profit4 is designed to be used by teams across your business.
Due to its wide range of integrations, Profit4 will incorporate your web sales, Amazon, eBay, trade counter, telephone sales data and more.
With Profit4's bespoke integrations, you will not need to add any clunky add-ons to your software which will slow down processes and decrease efficiency.
Save time & money
The disruption caused by having to manually close off the month-end is costly, labour-intensive and unnecessary.
With Profit4 there are no complicated month-end procedures, as the month-end is calendar based and retrospectively produced. Therefore you can go back and edit incomings and outgoings.
This gives you better control of your profitability and a more accurate view of your business's financial performance.
