The dematerialization of procedures has led to the emergence of new, innovative offerings, and the advice and support of a chartered accountant is not just essential when a company is being set up.
In addition to bookkeeping, chartered accountants are true partners in day-to-day business, helping you with administrative formalities and procedures, choosing invoice management software, and more.
Entrepreneurs need to know how to surround themselves with people they can trust, to ensure that their projects run smoothly and efficiently. For several years now, dematerialization has been gradually gaining ground, and has led to a renewed offering in business consulting, with the emergence of new 100% online players.
Dematerialization brings effective, measurable gains in terms of both financial efficiency and customer satisfaction.
New, faster and more flexible opportunities are now available to everyone.
Overview of new offers for entrepreneurs and business owners
Depending on each company's vision and project, you are free to choose the accounting method that suits you best.
Many administrative and financial managers prefer to opt for a traditional accounting firm, emphasizing the human relationship that can exist between a company director and his accountant.
Many companies prefer to manage their finances face-to-face. Even if the procedures are necessarily more costly, the traditional method used by many chartered accountancy firms is still favored by many entrepreneurs, who feel more confident with a "paper" follow-up.
And yet, Europe and its member states are the driving force behind dematerialization. For example, as of January 1, 2019, all SMEs will have to send their invoices to government agencies and local authorities in electronic format, prompting accounting firms to develop online solutions.
40% of chartered accountants have a digital platform and offer online services to their clients!
The revolution towards the paperless business model offers a wealth of opportunities for improving business performance.
The stakes are clearly set: smoother exchanges, more reliable data and simplified administrative tasks are the direct consequences of the dematerialization of public accounting.
On the one hand, your customers benefit from more secure exchanges and reduced risk of errors.
On the other hand, your company, the chartered accountant and the administration save money and improve productivity.
Among the upheavals underway, the reorganization of remote procedures is certainly the most emblematic.
The government launched the www.demarches-simplifiees.fr platform in early March 2018 to improve online business processes.
In addition, the exchange of confidential documents is now secure thanks to dedicated platforms.
Thanks to their technical expertise, chartered accountants are ideally placed to adapt the company's data flows.
The new online offers correspond to what some new entrepreneurs are looking for: greater speed and lower costs.
For example, companies such as Inexlab have developed 100% digital accounting solutions at affordable rates for entrepreneurs and business owners.
