Because the work is not the same size twice. Retail and Pro cover filing a
return from a year’s statements, which is a known job at a known price. A
business audit is not: how many entities, how many financial years, which ledgers
have to be reconciled and what the auditor needs at the end all change the answer.
So we scope it with you and quote it, rather than printing a number that would be
wrong for most people who read it.
The workspace itself is a separate module, and it works today: you import the
day book you already keep in Excel, and it comes back as a trial balance that
foots, a profit and loss account, a balance sheet, and one workbook your auditor
can open, sort and tie back. Rows your sheet never balanced are held in a suspense
account rather than guessed at, so what is still unreconciled is a number you can
see rather than an error hidden in a total. Debtor and creditor ageing, cost-centre
reporting and the tamper-evident edit log are the next things being built. Tell us
what your year looks like and we will tell you plainly whether we can do it now.
