Over the last 12 months we chatted with hundreds of clients and partners around Australia and New Zealand. And we heard you loud and clear—you want a snappier AccountRight that brings back the familiar data-entry workflows that made ‘Classic’ versions of AccountRight so enjoyable to use.
So, from this AccountRight release onwards, we've given priority to optimising:
- Speed, like the time it takes to do a bank rec
- Workflows, such as the number of steps and effort required to record a sale.
And we've already had some great results. For example, we’ve sped up the Spend Money and Reconcile Accounts windows, and improved the performance of high-use reports (some are now more than 70% faster). It's also easier to enter dates throughout AccountRight, and you can do much more using just your keyboard (e.g. you can now record sales without having to pick up your mouse).
To help Aussie businesses keep up with the ATO's requirements, we've also updated the Payment Summary Assistant (Plus only) and those in the building and construction industry can now report taxable payments to the ATO (Standard and Plus only).
