For small to mid-sized finance teams and accounting firms, your reliance on manually exporting data to spreadsheets is a dying practice. Get excited, we're here to make sure you never manually export data out of your favourite GL ever again.

At G-Accon, we understand the challenges you and your teams face, and we offer a solution that revolutionises your workflow.

Here's how G-Accon will completely rock your world:

Efficiency and Time-Saving

G-Accon automates data transfer between platforms like Xero and Google Sheets, significantly reducing the time you spend on repetitive tasks. As Sarah Lawrance mentioned, "We basically took on a client probably about seven months ago... We just ended up defaulting back to Google Sheets with G-Accon. And we did that in like half a day. The client was absolutely ecstatic with the solution." This efficiency allows accountants to focus more on analysis and strategic planning rather than manual data entry.

Flexibility and Customisation

The ability to create highly customisable reports is crucial for meeting specific client needs. G-Accon enables accountants to tailor management packs and financial reports seamlessly. Sarah highlights, "G-Accon has always just allowed us to build fun stuff on top of it that the clients love." This flexibility ensures that financial teams can produce precise and relevant reports for their clients.

API Integration

G-Accon acts as a simplified API connector for Xero, providing an optimal way to pull and push data accurately and efficiently. As Sarah noted, "We've always used it to basically connect data and build models from Xero." This integration eliminates the risk of errors associated with manual data entry and ensures that financial data is always up-to-date. The seamless connection between accounting software and spreadsheets streamlines the entire data management process.

Collaboration

Enhancing collaboration is vital in today's distributed work environment. G-Accon leverages Google Sheets to allow real-time updates and seamless client interactions. Sarah shared, "It's really fun for the team as well. Like, you know, they're spreadsheet ninjas and they love that stuff." This real-time collaboration ensures that all stakeholders are always on the same page.

Reliability

G-Accon is known for its reliability and consistency. Users trust that it will deliver accurate data every time. Sarah explained, "We basically pre-populate the journal template sheet, and then it just goes straight back into Xero. It's very reliable and saves us so much time." This reliability is essential for maintaining the integrity of financial reports and making informed business decisions.

The era of manual data exports to spreadsheets is dead. Embracing modern tools like G-Accon not only enhances your efficiency but also positions your finance team for future success.

At G-Accon, we are dedicated to helping finance teams drastically transform how you work and level up your ability to execute each month.
