Treat yourself to the
world with multi-currency
management

The business-to-business model of CTRL/Finance allows you to make cash transfers in a very transparent manner, no matter your business structure (parent company, consortium).

This module makes it possible for CTRL/Finance to introduce the principle of consolidation. It is now possible to obtain, for example, the analysis of consolidated customer accounts and consolidated general ledger transactions, an income statement, as well as a consolidated balance sheet. You can even automatically break down the salaries of employees in different companies.

A single screen is required to perform the bank reconciliation of outstanding items. All you must do is select the bank account you want and then indicate the date of your bank statement and the balance of your account statement. As you reconcile items, the difference between the CTRL/Finance ledger and your account balance changes dynamically to zero when all balances are in place.

The software also allows you to enter and integrate additional accounting transactions, such as bank charges, directly during the reconciliation process. You do not have to stop your conciliation activity to make a general journal entry.

CTRL/Finance has a complete payroll module, and its configuration flexibility allows you to manage all of your business contexts. Though the software offers many different modes, there are four primary modes of operation. These four modes allow for the management of single standard payrolls and construction payrolls with a full CCQ report. They also allow for applicable employee-supplier payrolls, for example, to sectors exploiting the notion of freelancers such as the film industry as well as employee-employer payrolls. The latter type can be applied, for example, to business sectors that provide payroll services to their subcontractors, themselves employers. The fishery industry is an example.

CTRL/Finance is very versatile with, for example, its customizable transactional structure, its rate configurator, and its modifier (deduction) configurator. You now have payroll software that is suitable for both a simple context but that can also manage the specific details of a highly specialized area.

CTRL/Finance offers a range of analytical opportunities to facilitate routine monitoring and verification. It is up to you to choose the approach that best suits your work context.

The various general ledger transactions analysis reports are the best approach when your analysis involves multiple accounts simultaneously. Using several selection criteria, these reports allow you to perform precise analyses. Also, all summary reports provide interactive drilling (drill-down) to enable you to analyze a particular outcome in detail.

If the information sought is for a single account, the simplicity of the transaction history of the account is required. There is no need to print a report; all transactions in an account are directly in front of you. You can also use the CTRL/Smigg platform's Filter function to filter accounting transactions according to precise criteria. 

Finally, as with transactional history by account, the "Client" and "Supplier" auxiliaries have transaction history consulting functions by stakeholder. So, it's a new approach to looking for information and accounting trails. Don’t play guessing with your accounting system!

The Client and Supplier sheets give you quick access to the contact information and general information of your choice. Specific parameters by client or supplier can be defined to simplify and speed up the entry of accounting records. Whether it is the default ledger account, tax codes, or even the currency, everything is there.

Of course, the customer account and supplier account modules have all the essential functions that make CTRL/Finance an accounting software worthy of the name. This includes, but is not limited to, the analysis of the age of accounts, the status of accounts receivable, and the analysis and printing of “supplier” cheques in batches according to specific selection criteria.

These modules become a critical information hub and allow for quick answers to ad hoc and frequent questions. An example could be a supplier calling you for the payment status of one of their invoices. Your first reaction might be to call them back later, once you have completed your audit. With CTRL/Finance, you can immediately check the supplier's transactional history or outstanding invoices to give them the right answer quickly.

CTRL/Finance includes an income statement generator that allows you to design different presentation formats for all your analysis and communication needs. Variance in amount or percentage, current period or year-to-date results, from budget and previous year, you have full control over the financial information you wish to present.

The software comes with a standard Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet specially designed for seamless integration with CTRL/Finance to give you even more flexibility. You can then complete your financial statements with additional analysis.

If you exploit the concept of the department (division) and the flexibility of secondary charters, CTRL/Finance allows you to obtain complete income statements showing profitability by the department. Profit center management is now a strategy at your fingertips!

CTRL/Finance's accounting charter is designed to meet the most demanding accounting contexts. Coding of up to 15 alphanumeric characters is possible. In terms of budgets, the software allows for the management of three levels of budgeting: current budget, revised budget, and next budget. Several budget preparation support functions are also present. Besides, CTRL/Finance includes a state-of-the-art planning tool in the form of a fully integrated Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet designed to simulate the forecast cash flow generated directly from your budgets.

When you are ready to start entering your accounting transactions, the toolbar provides you with direct and quick access to common accounting records. Whether it's the journal of purchases or sales or any other accounting journal, the software gives you the advantage of doing several transactions in one entry. Also, the system allows you to validate all the accounting entries associated with your entry before confirming their final deferral to the general ledger. Finally, CTRL/Finance includes an automatic entry function with a breakdown of an overall amount by percentage as well as an automatic reversal of entries function.
