Create one way of working
Smart, connected working papers help ambitious firms standardise and automate client filings; they connect to live client data and cut year-end preparation time in half using automated templates and reconciliations.
Powered by the Silverfin Data Hub, they connect to live client data and cut year-end preparation time in half by eliminating duplicated work.
Pre-populated with live bookkeeping data and fully integrated with Accounts Production, data entry is needed only once. Meanwhile automated reconciliations further reduce manual workloads, and being cloud-based, they’re accessible anywhere, any time.
No more wasted work in spreadsheets
Automated data syncs eliminate many of the repetitive and error-prone tasks that cause headaches for accounting teams. With Silverfin Working Papers, your client data is always up-to-date and accurate, progress tracking gives real-time visibility of any file, and in-context communication ensures queries are resolved quickly.
An intuitive UI guides your team through the preparation process, while features including progress tracking, audit logs, and collaboration tools provide real-time client file visibility to solve queries and allocate the right resources quickly.
Standardise with best practice schedules
Implement industry best practice with our off-the-shelf schedules. Silverfin makes it easy to create workflows that standardise any common client job, including audit working papers, and even use the Mercia Audit Methodology, which is already fully integrated into our Working Papers.
Customers can then embrace more flexible working and optimise resource allocation as it’s quicker to onboard teams and move tasks between members – including ones located offshore.
Always up-to-date, always compliant
Using Silverfin Working Papers for client filings means you’re always working with the most up-to-date client data. Eliminate data silos throughout your organisation and strengthen your reputation with clients with faster and more accurate work.
What’s more, changes to regulations automatically flow through templates and ensure you’re always compliant, with a robust audit trail in place.
