USA What do you feel is missing from accounting/bookkeeping software these days?

[Speculosity]

I'm a guy just getting into the accounting world, but it's a question I like to ask anyone of any profession, maybe it's a habit.

What do you feel is a problem you've been having as an accountant/bookkeeper that you feel can be solved by software but doesn't exist?

A better design envrionment for web applications...

MS isn't moving fast enough and there are too many frameworks and libraries that need to be put together if you want to set up bespoke software.

This really isn't a problem solely inflicted on accountants pretty much anyone that wants to use the web.

AutoRec Bank Reconciliation Software

There is a new bank reconciliation software product on the market that is specifically designed for accountants in practice that are processing Shoebox clients.

Using AutoRec you can scan your client?s bank statements on your standard office scanner straight into a bank reconciliation spreadsheet. Our bank reconciliation accounting software will verify the accuracy of the scanned data. AutoRec will read each page image automatically detecting what bank statement type it is. We can also recognise each cheque number presented on the bank statement additionally identifying and presenting missing cheque numbers.

Using AutoRec, you can reconcile 50 pages of bank statements along with complete payment and receipt analysis, in about 25 minutes. The data can then be exported straight into your existing accounts production software (VT, Sage, Viztopia, IRIS, etc).
