Going Paperless Pays Off for CPA Clients
What can paperless accounting tell you about an accounting firm? As it turns out, quite a bit.
The move to paperless offices has laudable environmental advantages with the reduction of paper, ink and copier
parts. But it’s more than that.
When your accounting firm is paperless it can save you significant work at year end.
Rather than printing out copies of documents for mailing you can upload them electronic copies directly.
This can save you time, postage and create a faster turnaround.
Reducing the amount of paper improves the efficiency of a firm. Digital documents are far easier
to store, organize and access than paper. This means that staff can spend more time actually working on
files.
There’s a cost reduction too. In file-heavy fields – such as accountancy – a large portion of a
firm’s office space is used for storage. That’s an overhead cost that is passed along to the consumer.
Productivity improves. Consider how much time you have spent over the years hunting for files
and then shuffling through them to find the document you need. A digital document archive with a powerful search
function can bypass all that.
Waste is reduced. There’s no need for duplication. The office space itself looks better,
less-cluttered. A cleaner desk means a clearer focus!
And finally, there is the hard cost of paper, ink, printers – it all adds up, and is passed
along to the consumer.
A paperless office suggests something about the accounting firm – that it is efficient and
up-to-date. After that, it’s not a large leap in logic to realize that the firm itself will be similarly
forward-thinking with regard to your accounting needs.
