Practitioners are forced to export data to Excel because modern accounting and finance software cannot handle complex, ad-hoc analysis, reconciliations, or flexible reporting.

Modern tools lack the flexibility, trust, and usability of Excel, causing users to rely on spreadsheets for critical tasks and avoid adoption due to poor interfaces and unaddressed core needs.
