Where accountants and bookkeepers are being let down.
Current technology accountants and bookkeepers use to access these sources of financial transaction data has now evolved. This evolution has been prompted because this data has typically had issues.
Troubles with existing ways of accessing client transaction data include:
- Gaps in data. Often accountants and bookkeepers are left with inconsistencies in the data. Not all types of accounts are made accessible. Different banks have different rules.
- Lack of historical data. When onboarding new clients, there’s significant frustration when transaction data only goes back 3 or 6 months. The back and forth then required with clients to get the full picture can cause delays at a time critical to show the client efficiency and competency.
- Bank feed paper handling is intolerable. Some banks still insist on paper signatories to get clients to approve access for their accountants and bookkeepers.
- Security problems with third-party platforms. Accountants and bookkeepers are being more heavily scrutinized than ever to protect clients’ data. That makes it seem even riskier to give third-parties access to client bank passwords to digitally pretend to be clients and keep these passwords on file.
This all creates an inconsistent experience for the client, worries around security, delays in accessing data in a timely way, and frustrations for all those involved.
Open Banking technology is now available to Australian consumers, enabling them to securely share their bank data with their trusted accountants and bookkeepers. Powered by SISS Data Services, this simple new way of sharing client data will circumvent these issues forever.
