Bookkeeping
Integration into internal procedures
- All new customers must be integrated into our internal systems and procedures, according to the particularities of the company and its components.
- The integration of the new customer into our internal procedures is carried out only once, i.e. at the start of services with Exacte.
- Proper integration ensures greater harmonization between Exacte and the customer, and efficiency in the accounting management process.
Document management and organization
- We provide our customers with a structured methodology for managing and organizing accounting documents.
- From the moment the customer arrives and throughout the services rendered, we advise and train the customer on the methodological approach to be adopted.
