Let’s be honest, if someone asks what can we do tonight to have some fun, no-one’s going to say “auditing” are they (no criticism intended, we’re auditors too)?
But nowhere in the Accounts and Audit Regulations (2015) does it say it has to be a grind. So, this week I’ve got something to share that will result in less audit grind and more feet up, doing whatever it is you do with your feet up..
Welcome back to Sheet Happens, where we peel back the layers of tedious audit work and sprinkle in some fun.
This week, I’m handing the mic to some real users of The Audit Toolbar to hear what they have to say. Spoiler alert: they’re loving it. Like, a lot.
I’m paid to rave about The Audit Toolbar all day (and all night), but our customers aren’t. Nothing speaks louder than the words of the people knee-deep in spreadsheets, dealing with the grind.
What are they saying?
Jo-Leigh Bruwer from Hills Howard & Associates says, "What a game changer!" She praises how The Audit Toolbar has slashed her working paper time and made the dreaded GL cleaning a walk in the park. Not to mention, it dishes out a pivot table so fast you might even have time for that third cup of coffee.
Isaac Wachira over at Eurisk Consulting says “Sampling has never been easier”. He can review his team's work in a snap, and training new staff? Practically a piece of cake.
Let’s face it, anything that simplifies audit training deserves a standing ovation 👏 👏
Tyron Truter from HVNS Accounting Services isn’t just impressed, he’s cutting down GL management time from 12 gruelling hours to just 3. His verdict? “If the demo doesn’t win you over, you’re either not in the trenches like we are, or your staff are exaggerating their productivity!"
To save you reading the growing pile of testimonials sitting on my desk, let me summarise what they’re saying across the board. People are saving time and not taking a briefcase full of stress home with them.
Whether it’s automatic GL Cleaners shaving hours off what used to be marathon sessions, or the Sampling Tool that’s turning long winded processes into a few clicks, The Audit Toolbar is helping firms get more done with less work.
If you’re an existing user of The Audit Toolbar, maybe these testimonials have inspired you. You’ve learned something from the way other people are using it. Maybe a lightbulb has come on.
If you’re not already using The Audit Toolbar, what are you waiting for? There’s a demo waiting with your name on it.
I’ll leave you with this from Morne Nel of Zeelie Auditors:
“It’s amazing to see how The Audit Toolbar is levelling the playing field between Big 4 firms and those like ours.”
Tools that let you play like the big boys, without the budget to match? Now that’s something to discuss with your feet up.
Until next week,
Christiaan
