ACUMATICA FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
The Acumatica Financial Management Suite is designed around a core set of accounting applications used by almost every organization, built on standardized GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) rules that empower collaboration and compliance between all of your offices and with your customers, vendors and partners. These finance modules are designed for companies with complex, enterprise-level requirements, yet still apply for use in small business as well as growing organizations requiring scalability. Featuring native integrations with additional suites allow you to connect seamlessly between other modules from Acumatica Cloud ERP and third-party ISVs to build out a true technology stack for your company, centered on a robust financial management framework.
Any enterprise system can handle basic accounting requirements, but only a modern web-based solution will grant you access to the latest automation and compliance tools. Keep up with contemporary payroll and tax regulations with background updates delivered through the cloud, and employ advanced reconciliation features to eliminate human error. Implementing Acumatica Financial Management allows you to completely modernize your bookkeeping and streamline finance operations to generate value instead of draining it.

EMPLOYEE PORTAL
The Employee Portal (EP) module allows companies to automate the process of entering timesheets, submitted expense claims, and assigning work.
Highlighted Features:
- EXPENSE CLAIM REPORTING: Using only a web browser, employees can submit expense claims with scanned receipts and support documents.

Once approved, Acumatica will create a bill in accounts payable to initiate the reimbursement and will generate a customer invoice if expenses were designated as billable to a customer.
- TIMESHEET REPORTING: While working from anywhere, employees can complete worksheets where they document activities for the day. Timesheets allow workers to specify a customer, a contract, worked hours, and billable hours. Once approved by a supervisor, timesheets can automatically update contract usage and generate a customer bill.

The task inquiry screen provides a central location where employees can see tasks that were assigned from any module as well as see tasks that have been escalated for follow up. Acumatica makes it easy for employees to add their task list to a dashboard and drill down inside to view task and document details.
