Cerebiz has spent many years working experience with Accounting Practices and SME businesses to specifically solve their unique pain points. We have found that some customer pain points were quite consistent with the industry, and built solutions for those. We also noticed that there were pain points which were very hard to address simply due to the customs ways that each accounting practice operates. This differentiation brings in complex dimensions from management accounting perspective when it comes to day-to-day running of businesses, custom workflows,  analysing historical data to ascertain meaningful and actionable business intelligent for future direction and control of the business.

Server based computer systems addressed these customer pain points by providing very expensive and time consuming software on premise which they called ‘customised solutions.’  While these customised solutions were acceptable to some mid to large businesses with standardised workflows; SMEs found these solutions to be too costly, time consuming and rigid to implement for them.

In the case of Modeller, accounting practices want to provide better services to their clients. They want to provide advisory services. They want to go beyond compliance. But they are time poor. Who has the time to implement a new product line such as Financial Modelling? Who has the resources to employ a staff member experienced in financial modelling, in addition to their other duties? Many accounting practices we surveyed did not have the capability. And so our accounting practices were being reactive not pro-active. They would prefer a model for a client if they asked for it (more likely if their banks required it for financiers). They would charge ad-hoc for this service, without a plan. Creation of the model was painstaking from the outset. Updating with financial data for future periods was manual and required a senior staff member to perform so as not to break the model. Starting with a template was nice, but every cloud accounting file has a different chart of accounts and complexities. It had no connection to your data. 

Cerebiz Modeller changes all that. We want accounting practices to proactively build financial forecasts for their clients and be the value added advisors that they truly want to be. We make it simple for them to get started and update regularly because we synchronise from the same financial data that you are painstakingly keeping up to date for the client. No more double handling! 

Download the data from your file, create your custom dashboards in separate tabs and update as regularly as you update your cloud files. You will have the ultimate advisory tool to have detailed discussions with your clients; in addition to the various other modules provided by Cerebiz.
