Accountancy

We are using a rather archaic administration software system dating from well back in the last millennium. Although the system is very primitive, it does cover our needs. However, with the increased digitisation of basically everything it has become feasible to integrate most of the tasks related to administration and accounting, increasing efficiency and saving paper and space in the office.

A few existing programs were tested, but were mostly found to be either too simple or too complex for our needs. The specific wishes for a new system have now been defined in more detail, and we have decided on using a relative simple existing system to which we are adding some specific functionality to meet our needs.

The general objective is to come as much as possible to a ``paperless'' system. We recently closed the accounts for the 1st quarter of 2013, and we have taken the opportunity to digitise all the documentation so far for this year as part of the exercise. The idea is to continue this such that the documentation can be directly integrated in the new system when it is implemented. The aim is to beta-test the new system before the end of the 2nd quarter of 2013, and have it fully functioning at the beginning of the 3rd quarter of 2013.
