Hours spent on manually keying invoices, bills, payment received and payments made for direct billing transactions

Wasted time on scrambling through expense receipts and delay in reimbursement process through manual tracking
Monthly bordereaux must reconcile to trust ledgers. Bottlenecks here delay commission settlements from wholesalers.
