Follow transactions through the system
We identify which system is authoritative for sales, inventory, booking and settlement records. Imported bank activity is matched to existing invoices and bills where appropriate. A connection that imports the same sale twice needs a process correction, not a recurring manual adjustment.
The review also checks opening balances, tax settings and permissions. Current Nova Scotia HST and historical 15% records need appropriate treatment. Available features depend on the actual software plan and connected applications.
An app-connection example
Imagine an illustrative Halifax retailer whose online store imports a $1,140 customer transaction and whose bank feed later shows the related processor payout. The payout is reconciled through the settlement record, including fees, rather than automatically entered as another $1,140 of revenue. The original sale remains the source for its tax details.
Document a routine the business can maintain
We test complete paths such as a supplier bill and payment, a customer invoice and receipt, and a refund or credit. The owner can then see how the records connect and what supporting documents staff must provide.
Reports and unresolved balances are reviewed after the process is established. Available features depend on the current software plan and connected apps. We work from the tools actually available and recommend changes when they address a clear records or reporting need, with a practical handoff explaining what staff should do next.
Questions about this work
Can you use the file we already have?
Yes. We review its condition and setup before recommending any conversion or major change.
Do all connected apps eliminate manual review?
No. Imports still need reconciliation, and overlapping systems can create duplicates. We identify who checks the connection and resolves exceptions.
