THE WAYPOINT WAY
Our process sets the course for smooth sailing in your accounting back office. It’s all about Team, Technology and Technique.
Team:
Our dedicated TEAM of accounting experts manages your specific accounting needs with knowledge and best practice processes. We provide the right mix of low-level, mid-level and experienced accounting oversight in a scalable solution. Your accounting support team includes an accountant supervised by a controller-level expert and personal attention from a Waypoint Partner.
Technology:
Our TECHNOLOGY makes it easy for you to get the macro and micro view of your company. The Waypoint solution includes access to cloud-based technology in accounting systems, electronic payments, paperless document management systems, all with iPad or laptop access. Custom dashboards provide real-time access to financial results and key performance indicators, 24/7.
Technique:
Our TECHNIQUE begins with a thorough analysis of your accounting functions. Once complete, we develop custom procedures and a checklist for all of your financial tasks. This information is documented and integrated into our fully automated workflow. Each task is tracked and ongoing electronic notifications let you know what work is in process. Tasks are reviewed by multiple levels of team members to ensure accuracy. Regularly scheduled meetings with your Waypoint partner allows for a thorough review of your financial operations.
HOW WE START
Our powerful process, supported by robust technology, automates your accounting functions, and keeps you informed.
ASSESSMENT:
Our initial assessment helps us capture and understand your business processes. At no cost to you, we review your infrastructure (software, internal processes and staff) and your financial reporting. The process also allows you to get to know us, our capabilities, and how we will work together.
DESIGN
Based on our assessment, we will design a customized solution incorporating best of breed technologies that allows us to manage your accounting and finance processes. Our proposal will include defining the scope of services and recommend new and existing technologies. This Service Level Agreement will be based on a monthly fixed fee arrangement and is cancelable at any time.
IMPLEMENTATION:
During the implementation phase, we will develop and document operational procedures and checklists. This information is integrated into all of your Waypoint Solution technology applications including a cloud based accounting system, online bill payment services, electronic workflow system, and paperless document management system. Each application is thoroughly tested before going live. We’ll keep you informed of our progress throughout the implementation process.
