"Leveraging Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in operational accounting, specifically in areas like Project Accounting for a Professional Services business and Cycle-based Accounting for complex accounting cycles such as Inter-company Billing, Contracts, Debt, Equity, Charitable & Pledge accounting, is key to streamlining processes and driving to a Continuous Close. RPA brings numerous high-level benefits to the table, enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and overall operational effectiveness, including:

Complete Traceability and Integrity: RPA ensures that every step of the accounting and operational processes is meticulously recorded and maintained. This not only enhances transparency but also guarantees the integrity of the data, which is crucial for compliance and audit purposes.

Reconciliation, Validation, and Exception Handling: RPA can perform regular reconciliations and validations, ensuring that the data entered aligns with the expected outcomes. Any exceptions, discrepancies, or trends that deviate from the norm can be flagged for human intervention, minimizing errors and maintaining data accuracy.

Regular and Timely Processing: RPA’s can be configured to run on a regular basis, triggered by events or by accounting staff, and with a frequency that reflects the volume of client activity. The ability to control the frequency can reduce the pressure of month-end inquiries from clients and other stakeholders, leading to a more consistent level of work throughout the month."

🎉 Celebrating 11 Years with IFI Professionals! 🎉
Today we're recognizing an incredible milestone for Lianne, our Accounting Implementation/Sub-System Specialist, who is celebrating 11 years with IFI Professionals!

Lianne joined IFI in 2015 as one of the very first employees hired by Jim, our Founder, when the company was just getting started. Over the years, she has played an important role in our growth while also continuing to grow professionally herself.

In her current role, Lianne specializes in integrating Sage Intacct with third-party systems such as Nexonia and Bill, as well as implementing client systems with Salesforce.

When asked what she admires most about IFI, Lianne shared that watching the company grow over the years, along with the opportunities for her own professional development, has been especially rewarding.

Outside of work, Lianne loves exploring National Parks, taking road trips, hiking, and spending quality time with family. She also channels her creativity into a successful side business creating beautiful sugar art, including custom cakes, cookies, and desserts for clients, friends, and family.

Thank you, Lianne, for 11 years of dedication, expertise, and contributions to the IFI team. We appreciate all you do and look forward to celebrating many more milestones together!

Beyond the spreadsheet: A better way to track your crew and your fleet via Procore Technologies: https://tinyurl.com/5brr75mj. "In construction, labor isn't just your biggest expense — it’s your biggest variable. For a specialty contractor, knowing exactly where labor hours are going is the difference between a profitable month and a "what happened?" post-mortem.

But for decades, the industry has relied on two flawed systems: the coffee-stained paper notebook or a mess of disconnected spreadsheets. Both come with a heavy administrative burden. Foremen hate the repetitive data entry, and payroll admins hate the detective work required to fix overlapping hours or missing cost codes.

At Procore, we’ve built Enterprise Grid Timesheets to end the friction, so accurate data flows from the field to the office without the headache.

Familiar layout, modern speed
The biggest barrier to getting good data from the field is the time it takes to enter it. If a foreman has to click through fifteen different screens to log time for a fifteen-person crew, they’re going to wait until Friday afternoon to do it. By then, the details are blurry, and the accuracy is gone.

With Grid-based time entry, entering time in the field has never been easier. Teams can get started instantly with a familiar interface that makes that old timesheet obsolete. They can track all your resources, including equipment time, alongside labor in the same grid, so you get a 360-degree view of resource utilization and cost for that phase of the project."

Why AP Needs More Than Automation and What Finance Leaders Are Focusing On in 2026 via Emburse: https://tinyurl.com/mr2s4nvb. "When finance leaders evaluate their accounts payable operations, the same themes consistently rise to the top: accuracy, governance, and confidence. Automation may reduce keystrokes, but it doesn’t eliminate uncertainty. And in AP, uncertainty shows up quickly — in cash flow visibility, audit readiness, and the integrity of the data organizations rely on to run the business.

That’s why the recently released Forrester Accounts Payable Invoice Automation Software Landscape (Q4 2025) stands out. The report reinforces what many finance teams are experiencing firsthand: AP is shifting from a back-office function to a foundation for financial intelligence.

Forrester highlights three core AP use cases:

Invoice data capture
Invoice matching
Payment management.
These fundamentals haven’t changed. But what has changed is the world finance teams now operate in. Governments are enforcing e-invoicing mandates, organizations are entering major ERP transformations, and data quality issues continue to slow down even the most well-designed workflows.

The report makes clear that modernization now requires far more than automating the steps of AP. It requires strengthening the systems and intelligence surrounding them.

Where the Landscape is particularly telling is in the three extended use cases that Emburse self-reported as the top reasons clients select the platform:" READ MORE HERE: https://tinyurl.com/mr2s4nvb
