In the coming years, accounting service providers will become increasingly commoditized as the industry adopts automative technologies that necessitate standardized client engagements. This change will work for some businesses, but not for all, and especially not for those with unconventional business models. To that end, Augur strives to prioritize customization, creativity, and personalization while maintaining a highly automated, digital, and consistent service to clients.
Digitization is the process through which machine-readable information is created. Digitized data can be iterated upon by software to facilitate automated business processes and to generate actionable reporting. In the age of machine learning and artificial intelligence, digitization is a necessity. It also decreases a business' ecological footprint by reducing its consumption of natural resources. Digitization is therefore a core feature of Augur's services.
Business problems are solved by deploying the appropriate skills, tools, and knowledge to the idiosyncrasies of a particular situation. Software is the toolset that an accountant applies to solve business problems. A good accountant knows how to deploy software to make a process more efficient, increase cash flow, and plan for the future. Augur applies a technology focused mindset to solve client problems.
Accounting shouldn’t be on auto-pilot. It generates financial data, one of your business' most valuable assets. Financial data provides answers to critical financial planning questions. Your accounting should not drive the questions. Rather, questions should drive the accounting. Therefore, Augur helps clients build a finance & accounting function that provides actionable financial information.
Augur makes your tax and accounting pain free and gives you peace of mind.
