Chris Porter, Director of Product Marketing at Prophix, shares five ways that Prophix One Account Reconciliation will take your financial close process to the next level.

1. Seamless collaboration

One of the standout features of Prophix One Account Reconciliation is seamless collaboration for finance teams. The close management command center allows you to monitor your close progress by period and entity, keeping tabs on task completion, overall progress, and the status of every key account. Team members can easily stay up to date on task statuses which reduces miscommunication, supports team collaboration, and improves efficiency.

Imagine knowing exactly where you stand in your financial close process at any given moment. No more chasing down colleagues for updates or sifting through endless emails—with Prophix One Account Reconciliation, everything you need is right at your fingertips, making for a smooth and efficient process.

2. Quick and painless balance resolution

Resolving balances is now quick and painless. Prophix One Account Reconciliation offers pre-built templates that provide detailed workflows and instructions, simplifying the process of identifying and addressing unreconciled differences. Easily substantiate items using supporting documents or adjustments, streamlining your workflow.

Think about all the hours spent manually reconciling accounts and trying to pinpoint discrepancies. With Prophix One Account Reconciliation, those hours are drastically reduced, freeing up your team to focus on tasks that will drive strategic change for your organization. Not only does this speed up the close process, but it also reduces the risk of errors so you can be confident in your numbers.

3. Real-time progress updates

The modern finance world is fast-paced – to get ahead, real-time updates are critical. Prophix One Account Reconciliation empowers you to keep up with changing dynamics. All close progress updates are automated and occur in real-time. When your reconciled difference nets out and you hit submit, an approval request is automatically triggered, and your progress tracker is updated.

Plus, approvers receive instant notifications, allowing them quickly to approve or reject submissions. Once everything is approved, the account is marked as "completed," making your close process more streamlined than ever. Automation ensures that nothing falls through the cracks.

4. Comprehensive progress tracking

With Prophix One Account Reconciliation, tracking reconciliation progress is crystal clear. Built-in process monitoring provides a comprehensive, bird’s-eye view of your reconciliation progress every time, giving you ultimate productivity and certainty. Now you can quickly spot bottlenecks, anticipate challenges, and optimize resource allocation.

Close performance analysis allows you to identify areas for improvement, so that you and your team can be star performers of your financial close process. Comprehensive progress tracking provides the ability to continuously refine processes, making each close smoother than the last.

5. Effortless close package generation

As audit season approaches, putting together close packages is something that many finance teams dread. Prophix One Account Reconciliation makes it effortless. Simply choose your accounts, and the application will compile and export detailed information for you as an Excel output.

You'll have everything your auditors need, neatly packaged and ready to share. This not only saves time, but ensures your close packages are accurate and complete, reducing the stress and cost that typically comes with audit preparation.
