Spreadsheets are a handy way to keep track of data, but there are many disadvantages to using them as the sole program for important financial tracking. Even with a pivot table equipped with various filters to make looking at data easier, it can still take forever to compile, report, and analyze your financial data. This is especially true if you have massive amounts of data to compile. Spreadsheets also create more possibility for human error – something that you definitely don’t want in your financial reporting. So how can you streamline your accounting process?
