Financial Accounting Suite Benefits

General Ledger
The General Ledger module maintains a complete financial information database including balances, averages, budgets and processed journal entries. The General Ledger module is designed not only for comprehensive general ledger accounting and control, but also for management reporting. It includes a library of report templates such as balance sheet, income statement, rate, yield, budget and variance reports. The General Ledger module’s Report Designer allows you to create customized reports that can be scheduled and distributed via e-mail or exported to other applications.

The General Ledger module automates general ledger processing by providing scheduled journal entries and report generation, integration with the Accounts Payable and Fixed Assets modules, journal entry batch templates, and much more. In addition, flexibility and open architecture allow the General Ledger module to seamlessly import journal entries from external applications such as loan, deposit, accounts payable, fixed assets, investments and budget data from asset liability management and budgeting applications.

Accounts Payable
The Financial Accounting Suite’s Accounts Payable module automates bill payment and invoice management. The module is designed to handle multiple organizations and the independent processing of each business unit, allowing the decentralization of payment processing yet retaining management control. Paperwork is easier, too. You can print checks from a laser printer and designate a separate device for reports. The Accounts Payable module accommodates manual or voided checks with adjustments to vendor history, invoice history and the check register. You also can make payments through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Interface.

The Accounts Payable module allows for cash or accrual-based accounting and creates journal entries that can be interfaced to your general ledger. Recurring payables, such as rent or lease payments, can be automated, and the Accounts Payable module will forecast cash requirements by vendor and due date. Complete vendor information including open invoices, discounts, net due, a history of purchases and payments by month for the last year and a history in summary for the past five years is maintained on the Accounts Payable module.

Fixed Assets
The Financial Accounting Suite’s Fixed Assets module enables financial managers to analyze and control the fixed assets portfolio for advantageous tax planning, resource management and in-house control.

This user-friendly software provides versatile reporting and FASB compliance projections.
The Fixed Assets module provides 38 different methods of depreciation including standard methods, MACRS, optimal methods, fact and circumstances, ADR and ACRS. It also maintains five independent sets of financial information on each asset: book; federal and state tax; ACE; and AMT. Forecasting and budgeting capabilities include future years’ depreciation forecasts to help determine deferred liability and budgets.

In addition to financial information, you can store the manufacturer, model, serial number, service history, maintenance and leasing information for each asset. The Fixed Assets module also handles prepaid accrual accounting, automatically generating entries for your general ledger.

ProfitVision™ Benefits

Your business experts are in control – ProfitVision takes set-up and maintenance out of the IT department and returns it to your business users – they are the drivers of the profitability model. They decide which data is included, which calculation engines are used to calculate profit, and which formulas are applied to generate results. Your business users also decide how deep to go. Start by looking at products, branches and business units. Analyze officer portfolios or service delivery channels for a more complete view. Move to the more granular levels of accounts, customers and relationships as you see fit.

A ready-to-deploy solution you can adapt to your unique needs – Deploy ProfitVision “as is” and start improving profitability in just 30 days. Or easily modify the software’s definitions, rules and scoring thresholds to more closely reflect your business model. How much you customize is up to you. ProfitVision is built on a standard architecture with many open points of entry. You can readily integrate custom or third-party utilities, tables and analysis tools – adding value to the investments you’ve already made in other systems and applications.

Results you can believe in and act upon – Profit analyses are trustworthy because they’re performed on data imported from multiple sources across your enterprise into a central database reconciled directly against your general ledger. Results can be used to initiate immediate action because they’re credible, easy to understand, easy to access and can be predefined for functional entities within the organization.

Information you can use to drive organizational change – Value indicators help you encourage profit-conscious behavior throughout your organization. Marketing, sales and service departments use these results to develop treatment strategies to attract and retain desirable customers, as well as pricing and promotional strategies to move less-profitable customers to higher value segments. Senior managers can use ProfitVision to measure execution against corporate goals and ensure that pay-for-performance programs reward not just volume, but volume of profitable customers, officers and branches.
