Many organizations still rely on manual accounting processes that are slow, error-prone, and siloed from the rest of the business. If your accounting team is still shuffling spreadsheets, chasing approvals over email, or manually entering data from one system to another, you’re not just losing time — you’re losing money.
Fortunately, there’s a better way. The combination of Salesforce and Accounting Seed offers a powerful, automated accounting solution that not only eliminates costly manual errors but also drives deeper financial insight and efficiency across your organization.
The True Cost of Manual Accounting
Manual accounting processes are riddled with pitfalls:
-
Data entry errors that lead to incorrect reporting
-
Delayed month-end closes due to time-consuming reconciliations
-
Audit risks from missing documentation or inconsistent data
-
Siloed systems that require duplicate work across departments
These problems don’t just frustrate your accounting team — they affect your whole business. Decision-makers get outdated or inaccurate financial data. Compliance becomes harder. Growth slows as resources are wasted on fixing errors instead of scaling operations.
According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, weak internal controls — often exacerbated by manual processes — are responsible for nearly half of all occupational fraud cases. The risk is real.
Why Automation Makes Sense — Especially in Salesforce
Automated accounting systems streamline workflows, ensure data accuracy, and provide real-time visibility into financial performance. When integrated into your Salesforce environment, they do even more.
Salesforce is already the central hub for customer relationship management (CRM) for many companies. By extending its capabilities into accounting with a native app like Accounting Seed, you create a seamless flow of data across your sales, service, and finance teams.
No more disconnected tools. No more lag between sales activity and financial reporting. Everything lives within one ecosystem.

A Real-World Example
Let’s say your sales team closes a deal in Salesforce. With a manual process, someone in accounting has to be notified, log in to a separate system, manually create an invoice, and then update another spreadsheet for tracking.
With Accounting Seed, that deal automatically triggers an invoice generation workflow. Revenue recognition schedules, GL entries, and even cash flow forecasts are updated — all in real-time, within the same platform.
The result? Faster cash collection, more accurate reporting, and less stress for everyone involved.
Manual accounting isn’t just inefficient — it’s risky. In an environment where accuracy, compliance, and speed are critical, you can’t afford to keep doing things the old way.
By leveraging Salesforce and Accounting Seed, you empower your business with a unified, automated accounting solution that enhances visibility, improves accuracy, and frees your team to focus on what really matters: growth.
Stop letting manual mistakes drain your resources. Make the switch to automated accounting today.
