How Does Accounting Work on the Salesforce Platform?

Sep 7, 2021 | Business Trends, Salesforce Account Executives

Most businesses recognize Salesforce as a powerhouse Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system that maximizes the sales process. But that’s just scratching the surface of its full potential. Salesforce accounting, for example, is highly effective, offering significant advantages to users. 

SALESFORCE ACCOUNTING

How Does Accounting Work on the Salesforce Platform? 

Salesforce can do accounting functions, but not alone. On its own, Salesforce is a CRM, which focuses on managing and tracking the sales process. While it does have add-on features like Salesforce Billing and Revenue Cloud, it’s not a dedicated accounting system. 

Even with Salesforce, you still need to track transactions, and account for the debits and credits in your business. Additionally, you then have to compile and analyze this data to understand your financial health. You can’t do this with the Salesforce product alone, but that’s where other software comes into play.  While Salesforce can work with outside technology or, it works best with native software. It is through native Salesforce accounting software that you can run accounting fully in your Salesforce instance. 

 

What Does Financial Management on Salesforce Look Like?

You may be familiar with the urgency and stress associated with accounting. Maybe it’s why you’re looking for a better accounting application. If you’re on Salesforce, you can connect and streamline all your major applications to consolidate operations onto a single platform. When you add accounting into the mix, the financial process behind your operations gets easier and more accurate. Let’s look at how. 

Connected, Efficient Data Flow

Most, if not all, of your business tools need to share data with your accounting system. Whether it’s processing a vendor payment, turning a quote into a bill, or recognizing a customer transaction started in another software, these tools must communicate the transaction to the accounting system. The accounting software takes over to account for and track the finances that were generated. On Salesforce, this data-sharing can be instantaneous thanks to the connectivity between platform applications. Some of the most common connections start with Salesforce’s Sales Cloud and Service Cloud.

Smoother, More Hands-Free Accounting Lifecycles

Salesforce on-platform accounting eliminates the need to monitor expenses or track billing in a separate system or spreadsheet. On Salesforce, you can click a button in one app and the accounting will take over when it’s needed. It’s as easy as initiating a bill in Salesforce and then having that data show up in your general ledger for processing and recognition. Automations can be more refined and effective because all of your solutions are in one place. This allows your accounting lifecycle to be more efficient and visible because the relevant data is connected to your accounting system, uninterrupted.

More Accurate Accounting with Less Hassle and Expenses

The lack of interruptions or having to manually input data also eliminates accounting errors and gives you fast answers and accounting processes like monthly close. This also saves you more money!

 

Go Native, Get Better Accounting

Using native applications all on a single platform simply gives you better accounting. Instead of juggling the different components and finances of your business, you can focus on commanding your whole business through a single, trusted platform.
