For many small and mid-sized businesses (SMEs), bookkeeping and financial management costs are a major expense. Whether you’re paying an in-house bookkeeper, outsourcing to an accountant, or handling everything yourself, the hidden costs add up fast—not just in fees, but also in wasted time, late payments, and missed financial opportunities.

What if you could cut your bookkeeping costs in half, reclaim dozens of work hours, and improve cash flow—all while making smarter business decisions?

That’s exactly what Persofi’s AI-powered automation helps businesses achieve. Let’s take a look at how an SME using traditional bookkeeping compares to one that has fully automated its financial processes.

📌 Case Study: How an SME Cut Costs & Improved Profits with AI Financial Automation

Meet David, an SME Business Owner

David runs a manufacturing and distribution company with a team of 15 employees. He relies on two bookkeepers, a part-time accountant, and external financial services to manage payroll, invoicing, payments, and financial reporting.

Despite using QuickBooks for cloud accounting, many processes were still manual and time-consuming, resulting in:

  • $50,000+ per year in bookkeeping & accounting costs

  • Delayed invoicing & cash flow issues—leading to over $100,000 in overdue payments at any given time

  • Manual errors costing thousands in missed deductions & inefficiencies

🛑 Before: Traditional Bookkeeping – The Hidden Costs

🔴 High Bookkeeping Costs – Paying $50,000+ annually for bookkeeping and financial admin.
🔴 Late Payments & Cash Flow Struggles – Invoices sent late, resulting in delayed receivables and cash shortages.
🔴 Time Wasted on Manual Data Entry – Two bookkeepers spending 30+ hours per week entering invoices, reconciling payments, and following up on accounts.
🔴 Limited Financial Visibility – Without real-time forecasting, David never had a clear cash flow outlook, making growth decisions risky.
