To infinity and beyond

Four centuries of freedom 🎉

I just love data cleaning. The messier the better….said no auditor ever.

It’s a task every auditor dreads. So let me start this week’s edition of Sheet Happens with one of The Audit Toolbar’s greatest hits. The General Ledger Cleaner (The GL Cleaner).

It takes the task of reconstructing messy accounts and rattles through it in seconds instead of hours. All you have to do is make a coffee; it’ll tell you when it’s finished.

Now imagine you’re onsite auditing, and the GL Cleaner is just one of a bunch of simple time savers you have sitting on the Excel ribbon. Each of them can whistle through long, repetitive, tedious tasks at warp speed, collectively saving you 40 hours per audit.

Now imagine you have fifty auditors doing 10 audits a year each.

Just like that, you’re reclaiming 20,000 hours annually. Take a minute to absorb that, I know I just did. That's time you can spend on anything. Strategy, clients, or if you must, more auditing.

It’s mind boggling, but it’s about to get more boggling.

Since we launched The Audit Toolbar, we’ve saved the auditing industry 450 years of time. With tools like automated sampling, advanced template management, and instant reconciliation, centuries of manual drudgery have been spirited away.

Too much time on your hands.

Too big to comprehend? Let me help. Here’s a little perspective on what 450 years gets you:

  • A spaceship traveling at Voyager 1’s speed (38,000 mph) would cover over 15 billion miles. That’s more than halfway to Proxima Centauri, our nearest star (over 160 times further than the Sun). Illogical Captain 🖖

  • Like knitting? If you started in 1574 knitting at an average speed of one scarf per day, you'd have a scarf big enough to wrap around the Earth six times. Like Planet Earth needs to be any warmer 🤷

  • Or you could binge-watch every Netflix original ever made (over 6,000 hours), approximately 750 times. I don’t know what’s worse. All that popcorn stuck between your teeth or watching Squid Game 750 times 🍿

Time to Plant.

Back in the here and now, there’s an old expression that goes like this. If you want a 40-foot oak tree in your back garden, the best time to plant it is 40 years ago. But since time travel isn’t in The Audit Toolbar’s features (yet), the next best time is now.

It’s the same with auditing. If you want to save hundreds of hours per auditor each year, you can’t turn the clock back. The best time to start is today.

We’re selling you time.  At least 40 hours per audit, and all for less than the price of a good night out once a year. The Audit Toolbar isn’t just an Excel add-on; it’s a bargain.

Want to see the tool behind the big claims? The one that has magicked away 450 years. Click here to arrange a time.

Remember the Oak tree. The best time to start is now.

Time’s ticking.

Have a great week,
Christiaan
