Suttle & Co’s Automates of Bank Statements and Xero Entries with DocuClipper

Company Background

Established in 1984, they offer a range of services including tax planning, payroll, and business advice, catering to businesses and individuals seeking professional financial guidance and support.

Challenges Faced by Suttle & Co

Before integrating DocuClipper into their operations, Suttle & Co struggled with several critical challenges:

• Excessive Time Spent on Manual Data Entry: Employees were dedicating an unsustainable amount of time to manually entering data from PDF bank and credit card statements. This repetitive task was consuming resources that could have been better utilized elsewhere.
• Inefficient Processing of Financial Documents: The firm struggled with the processing of old bank statements and credit card statements available only in PDF format. This inefficiency was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors.

These challenges had significant impacts on the company’s operations:

• Resource Misallocation: Valuable employee time was being diverted away from analytical and advisory roles, key areas where the firm added significant value to its clients.
• Operational Inefficiencies: The slow and error-prone manual entry system led to delays and inaccuracies in financial reporting and analysis.
• Client Service Impact: These inefficiencies potentially affected the firm’s ability to serve clients promptly and accurately, impacting client satisfaction and trust.

These challenges prompted Suttle & Co to seek a more efficient solution, leading them to discover and implement DocuClipper.
