New mobile accounting app lets you focus on your business

Poor bookkeeping and financial reporting contribute to 46% of small business failures in the US alone. Ceterus’ mobile accounting app aims to save small businesses:

If you’re one of the millions of small business owners who are always on-the-go, you’re consistently challenged with making on-demand decisions, all the while making sure your customers and employees are happy. Easy mobile access to your financials in real-time lets you make informed decisions that increase your bottom line and support strategic growth.

But until now, entrepreneurs like you haven’t had a mobile accounting app that offers real-time, strategic financial insights.

Ceterus’ automated accounting software and mobile app uses both artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to bring data from different sources like payroll, point of sale and bank accounts into QuickBooks Online.

By automating manual data entry tasks, Ceterus lets you focus more on your client needs. And if you use the Ceterus Edge mobile app, you can also access completed financials, real-time insights and benchmarked reporting from your iPhone or iPad (and soon for Android devices, too).

Such real-time insights make accounting information much more useful in the moment and forward-looking — and that in turn helps business owners and managers make more strategic business decisions.

Mobile accounting app features

Ceterus Edge Mobile delivers alerts, daily insights, and future planning strategies to you wherever you are:

Daily Sales and Cash balances for each of your locations or businesses gives you daily updates on key metrics.

Cash Forecasting delivers cash flow projections for 7 and 30 days into the future. This helps you make sure that you have enough cash on hand to pay for large expenses or optimize your working capital to invest in a new business location.

The Edge Valuation Tool (pictured) is a unique feature that provides you with scenarios that estimate the cumulative value of your business portfolio to show growth over time.

Consolidated Monthly Cash Flow features let you view the cost of goods sold, revenue, net operating income, and expenses for all locations. You an also review historical revenue and expenses for each business location.

Fraud Alerts highlight when there is a discrepancy that needs your immediate attention.

In-App Messaging lets you communicate directly with your Ceterus accountant.

Face/Touch ID Integration lets you skip tedious username and password entry — just open the app with your face or fingerprint for quick and secure log-in.

The icing on the cake? Ceterus Edge has a clean design and unique data visualization tools, so you can see insights at-a-glance when you’re on the go and pressed for time.

Compare to your peers & KPIs

Ceterus Edge also offers a Benchmarking feature that gives you franchise or vertical-specific benchmarking in financial categories like revenue, net operating income, and key expense categories. You can see at a glance where you’re doing well, where you need to cut costs, and where you need to invest time and resources.

The Ceterus app also delivers non-financial KPIs for select franchise concepts. This gives you the opportunity to see where your non-financial metrics are driving revenue, growth, and margin.

Small business accounting services, too

While it continues to build on its automated accounting software, Ceterus is also customizing its small business accounting services for a range of clients like retailers, restaurants, health clubs, and CPA firms. In 2019, Ceterus announced a partnership with North Carolina-based CPA and advisory firm LBA Haynes Strand to provide its software and client accounting services, customized particularly for the firm’s growing dental industry client base.
