Accounting & BookkeepingAccruals & Month-End Close3MediumAutomation Specialist$ implied

A new automated accounting system reveals long-standing errors from a manual legacy process, but the worker fears leadership may reject the accurate automated results because they differ from years of accepted (but incorrect) manual data.

Existing manual processes are error-prone with mislabeled GL accounts and incorrect categorizations, but there is no tool to smoothly validate and present discrepancies between legacy and new automated data in a way that builds trust with leadership.
