  • ❌ Reports must be manually generated and printed.
  • ❌ "Month-end" numbers are often 15-30 days old.

Cloud Dashboard

  • ✅ Bank feeds update automatically every morning.
  • ✅ Invoices appear in sales reports the second they are sent.
  • ✅ You can make decisions based on today's cash, not last month's.
