Workflow helps us streamline our business processes by automating the routing and approval of documents. It works great if all the steps are sequential and relationships are 1:1. However, if the 1:1 relationship is broken – for example when financial statements need a second review – linear workflow cannot help. That’s where the benefits of logic driven workflow come in to play.
Amelio utilizes intelligent workflow that easily adapts to the precise steps in your Tax, Audit, On-boarding/Acceptance and/or Engagement Letter process. Amelio offers a toolset to let clients easily build logic-driven checklists and forms by setting up questions that can take the shape of drop-downs, checklists, comment fields and more. Depending on how the preparer answers a given question during the auditing process, relevant questions appear in the checklist or on the form while irrelevant ones disappear. Plus, questions can be added on the fly. As these questions are added, they’re captured and integrated into the checklist or form.
Although Amelio was developed specifically for accounting firms with specializations, it can be used for any
logic-driven, workflow process.
