My company recently and finally decided to update its financial software and the task of finding the right software for us was given to me. I’ve sourced software plenty of times before, but I’ve never been involved in accounting or a company’s financial responsibilities before, so there is plenty to learn before I start sending out requests for quotations. However, I find that the best way to learn is to jump in feet first and start reading up on what’s out there.
I came across a few decent alternatives, but I quickly realized that it might be best to get a relatively local solution given that each country has its own laws and regulations concerning corporate financials and the software needs to adhere to them. I did come across a Finnish developed financial administration software (in Finnish: taloushallinto ohjelma) that seemed really good. To behonest, the recommendation to look it up came from the accounting agency that my company uses as they use the software themselves. It occurred to me that it was probably be a huge benefit that we use the same software as our accounting agency as it seems that you can connect in the software which I’m sure will make our accountants lives much easier.
The software seems pretty robust, but in my experience there’s rarely that much difference in different software alternatives that are specialized for particular areas of expertise. The difference is more often in the service levels, user experience and the nice-to-have features. So, I contacted the company that develops the software and asked for a trial period to try out the software. They responded quickly with log in details and I set off testing the software. I also asked one of our accountants to try it out and to send me feedback about it. Well, our accountant was happy as a clam and I can’t really say that I found any fault in the software. It’s not very common to get off this easily in a software procurement project but it would seem that I found quite quickly exactly what we were looking for.
