As a multi-site hospitality operations and finance manager, the end of the financial year (EOFY) can feel like a constant uphill battle.

From ensuring all supplier invoices are accurate and paid, to the frantic crunch of reporting and accruals, EOFY can turn into a colossal mess, wasting precious time and resources. This post is for all the "plate spinners" out there, juggling multiple tasks and eager for a solution. At Surreal, we have a simple, efficient, and reliable system that takes the cruel out of accrual!

The EOFY Pain Points

Late and Unsubmitted Invoices

One of the main headaches during EOFY is dealing with supplier invoices. Many times, live entertainers like musicians, DJs, and trivia hosts, submit their invoices either late or not at all. This leaves you scrambling at the last minute trying to ensure all invoices have been paid.

Incorrectly Formatted Invoices

On top of late submissions, invoices often come in incorrectly formatted or unusable. This adds an extra layer of complexity to an already stressful time.

Difficulty with Accurate Accrual Reporting

Due to the unreliable nature of invoice submissions, the task of accurate accrual reporting can become a nightmare. Understanding the true financial position of your operations becomes a guessing game, rather than a clear, accurate view.
