The Business Changed. Did Accounting?
Processes and systems that worked at one stage can become a source of delay, risk, and extra work at the next.
The Idea
When the old model stops fitting
Accounting problems often appear gradually. One spreadsheet is added, one person learns a workaround, and one late report becomes normal. Each issue may look manageable on its own.
Together, they can show that the business has outgrown the way accounting is organized. The team may be working hard while the model itself remains unclear.
The answer is not automatically new software or more staff. First determine where the work breaks down, what information is missing, and which responsibilities need to be clarified.
