Cut the Clutter: Achieve Real-Time Financial Insights with Coefficient’s Integrations

Earmark Team · February 7, 2025 ·

If you’ve ever wished you could pull data from multiple accounting, e-commerce, or payment platforms directly into your spreadsheets—no coding required—you’re not alone. In a recent Earmark Expo webinar, Coefficient Co-Founder and CTO, Tommy Tsai, joined hosts Blake Oliver and David Leary to demonstrate how a single tool can connect over 70 systems and automate the workflows that have long plagued accounting professionals.

The Data Fragmentation Dilemma

“We’ve got data in QuickBooks and Xero, data in Stripe, Google App Store, Apple App Store, our CRM, and probably 20 other places I can’t even remember right now.” – David Leary

This quote describes the all-too-familiar reality of data scattered across multiple platforms. Tommy explained that this isn’t a one-off issue: “Everyone has that problem.”

To combat rampant data fragmentation, Coefficient provides direct connections to dozens of platforms—such as QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe, Salesforce, and Shopify—and pulls real-time data into Google Sheets or Excel. 

Unlike solutions that rely on Zapier or complex coding, Coefficient’s integrations aim to be user-friendly for accountants and bookkeepers.

Connecting Directly—No More Manual Exports

During the live demo, Tommy showcased how easy it is to import data from QuickBooks into a spreadsheet:

  • Choose the “Import” button in the Coefficient sidebar.
  • Select a connected QuickBooks account (or any other supported system).
  • Preview reports—like Balance Sheets or P&Ls—before importing.
  • Set custom date ranges and summarize by month, quarter, or year.

In just a few clicks, the spreadsheet updates with real-time data from QuickBooks. The same approach works for raw transactional data, like invoices, including custom fields. Coefficient also supports multi-client workflows: a single user license can link up to 10 different QuickBooks files on the Pro plan, enabling accountants to handle multiple entities without repeated setup.

Pre-Built Dashboards & Automated Refresh

Tommy unveiled pre-built dashboards for QuickBooks data—think cash flow projections, P&L summaries, even combined views for QuickBooks + Shopify or QuickBooks + Stripe. Once created, these dashboards automatically refresh on the schedule you set—hourly, daily, or weekly.

He emphasized the “build once, set to auto-update every hour, and you pretty much have a live dashboard you don’t have to touch ever again” aspect. No more tedious monthly exports or snapshotting spreadsheets by hand. Coefficient can also create a historical snapshot tab on a schedule (e.g., every Monday morning), allowing you to review changes over time.

Slack Alerts & Email Notifications

Beyond simply pulling data into a spreadsheet, Coefficient also offers powerful automations that notify you—and even your clients—when new data or updates appear. Using triggers, you can configure:

  • Slack Alerts: for newly overdue invoices, newly uncategorized expenses, or any row that meets certain criteria.
  • Email Alerts: automatically email a copy or summary of a refreshed dashboard to colleagues or clients.

For instance, if a client has overdue invoices, Coefficient can send you a Slack message with the details, along with a link back to the spreadsheet.

Upcoming Feature: Export Data Back to QuickBooks

Although currently live for Salesforce and other systems, exporting data back into QuickBooks is a highly anticipated feature that Tommy says will go live soon. This will allow accountants to correct or categorize large sets of QuickBooks transactions in a spreadsheet—and then sync them back, eliminating tedious one-by-one edits. As Blake put it, this is especially handy for uncategorized transactions or missing classes.

AI in Your Spreadsheet: GPT Copilot

One of the most talked-about features of Coefficient is its built-in GPT Copilot. Tommy explained that you can use ChatGPT’s functionality directly in your spreadsheet formulas—for everything from text transformations to classifying transactions.

Key AI Functions Include:

  • GPT Classify – Pass a transaction description and a list of valid labels (e.g., expense categories) to automatically categorize expenses.
  • GPT Formula Builder – Simply type what you want in plain English (e.g., “combine text in cells A2 and B2”) and receive a working formula.
  • GPT Summarize – Generate narratives or bullet-point analysis of financial data, streamlining basic management reports.

While AI can drastically reduce manual labor, Tommy stressed a “human-in-the-loop” approach: “It’s just as confident when it’s wrong as when it’s right.” In other words, the final review is still up to you, ensuring data integrity and professional judgment remain intact.

Pricing & Special Offers

Coefficient offers both monthly and annual plans on a per-user basis. The Pro plan is $99/month (when paid annually) and includes six data source types plus up to 10 accounts per source. Crucially, your clients do not need a paid license to view or refresh your shared spreadsheets—only the primary user who sets up the automations needs a license.

Special Deal for Accounting Firms:

  • Get one license free for a year when using Coefficient’s QuickBooks integration.
  • Email team@coefficient.io to claim this offer.

Coefficient also runs a referral program: refer a client who purchases their own license, and receive 20% of the first year’s subscription in return.

Conclusion: A New Era of Automated Accounting Dashboards

In an industry where spreadsheets remain the go-to analysis tool, Coefficient bridges the gap between multiple data systems and your workbook. From multi-source dashboards to AI-driven classification and Slack alerts, it merges modern automation with the familiarity of Excel or Google Sheets.


Watch the full Earmark Expo to dive deeper into these capabilities, see a live demo of Coefficient, and learn how you can integrate it into your own workflows.

You’ll soon be wondering how you ever navigated the scattered-data landscape without it.

Tired of the January Scramble? Discover a Proactive Approach to 1099 Compliance

Earmark Team · February 7, 2025 ·

No one brushes their teeth only the day before a dentist appointment and expects a clean bill of health—yet many businesses approach 1099 compliance in exactly this way. Every January, they scramble to collect W-9s, validate tax IDs, and rush out filings before the deadline. This last-minute frenzy creates stress and exposes companies to serious penalties if documentation is missing or incorrect.

In a recent Earmark Expo webinar, Gordon Walsh from Avalara demonstrated how modern automation tools like Avalara 1099 & W-9 can transform 1099 compliance from a reactive, annual challenge into a proactive, year-round process. By embracing real-time TIN matching and automated W-9 collection, businesses can significantly reduce compliance risks while freeing up valuable time during the year’s busiest season.

1099 Compliance Shouldn’t Be an Annual Fire Drill

Federal law requires businesses to collect W-9s before making payments to vendors. Despite this requirement, many firms still rely on manual processes: chasing vendors for handwritten forms, deciphering errors, and hoping everything arrives before January 31st. Without valid taxpayer information, businesses must withhold 24% for backup taxes—a situation that can create significant cash flow issues for vendors and administrative headaches for businesses.

“January’s 1099 season is really just where we feel the pain of all the things that we’ve done year-round that maybe didn’t get done,” explains Gordon Walsh. This reactive approach inevitably leads to costly, last-minute fixes and potential penalties.

The Power of Automated W-9 Collection

Traditional W-9 collection relies heavily on email and PDF exchanges—a system Gordon critiques saying, “There’s no other place in my life and business anywhere where I’m giving handwritten documents to people and expecting to do business with them.” 

Modern automation tools solve these challenges through:

  • Guided electronic forms with built-in validation
  • Intuitive menus that reduce classification errors
  • Centralized dashboard for tracking compliance status
  • Automated classification checks for 1099 requirements
  • Electronic delivery consent during onboarding

Having a system to collect vendor information ensures the capture of correct legal entity names, preventing downstream mismatches with IRS records.

Real-Time Validation: Preventing Costly Mistakes

Real-time TIN matching serves as the cornerstone of modern compliance systems. Instead of discovering mismatches after filing or receiving notices months later, Avalara’s system validates tax identification numbers during vendor onboarding. 

When mismatches occur, vendors can correct issues immediately, preventing:

  • Notices from the IRS
  • Mandatory 24% backup withholding
  • Time-consuming vendor follow-up
  • Potential penalties and fines

The system returns validation results directly to vendors during the submission process, allowing for immediate corrections. This preventative approach significantly reduces the risk of receiving IRS notices demanding backup withholding or corrections.

Streamlined Year-End Processing

The platform’s dashboard provides clear visibility into compliance status using a stoplight system:

  • Green: Ready for e-filing and electronic delivery
  • Yellow: E-filing ready but requires physical mail delivery
  • Red: Issues requiring immediate attention

For corrections, which are provided at no additional cost, the process has been simplified to a few clicks. Users can edit information directly in the system, with automatic filing of corrected forms to both state and federal authorities.

Integration and Accessibility

The system integrates with major accounting platforms like QuickBooks and includes bulk import capabilities for larger datasets. A global search function enables quick access to historical forms, allowing users to resend documents to recipients within seconds rather than searching through saved PDFs.

Historical data is maintained for five years, and the platform includes:

  • Secure document-sharing capabilities
  • State-specific compliance automation
  • Address verification through USPS
  • Multiple user access with role-based permissions

Pricing and Implementation

Rather than charging by the number of clients or users, pricing is based on total form volume. This tiered pricing model creates economies of scale—from several dollars per form at lower volumes to cents per form for high-volume users. While physical mailing incurs additional costs, the system encourages electronic delivery through early consent collection, helping businesses reduce expenses and administrative overhead.

The platform’s ease of use has earned it an NPS score of 79, reflecting its intuitive design and comprehensive feature set. With continued development, including a recently tripled development team, the system aims to expand its integration capabilities and streamline data flow between various business systems.

Through this combination of preventative validation, automated collection, and streamlined processing, businesses can transform their 1099 compliance from an annual emergency into a manageable, year-round process. 

Watch the full Earmark Expo webinar to see these automation tools in action and learn how to implement a proactive approach to compliance.

Is Your Accounting Firm Drowning in Too Many Software Solutions?

Earmark Team · February 7, 2025 ·

How many browser tabs do you have open just to run your accounting firm? If you’re like most modern practitioners, the answer might be “far too many.” From time tracking to e-signatures, invoicing to document sharing, each separate function tends to live in its own app. This “app fatigue” frustrates staff, drives up costs, and forces everyone to juggle multiple logins and browser tabs.

In a recent Earmark Expo webinar hosted by Blake Oliver, CPA, and David Leary—featuring Michael Salmon from Canopy—this issue of app overload took center stage. The panel discussed how modern practice management solutions are helping firms consolidate key functions, such as document management, task workflows, and client communication, into a single, unified platform. By reducing the need to stitch together a half-dozen stand-alone apps, unified solutions promise to free practitioners from the headache of endless browser tabs—without sacrificing cloud-based systems’ flexibility.

Why Are Firms Drowning in Apps?

Over the last decade, cloud technology has been seen as the solution for any time, anywhere, access to client data. But the “cloud” itself splintered into multiple tools—one for e-signatures, one for time tracking, another for document storage, yet another for proposals, and so on.

“Cloud solutions are definitely more flexible, and they solved a lot of problems for firms,” Oliver explains. “But we lost that all-in-one simplicity that older desktop suites used to provide. Instead, we replaced those solutions with six or seven specialized apps that don’t always talk to each other.” The result is a hodgepodge of siloed systems, each with its own subscription cost and learning curve.

The Comeback of Unified Practice Management

The good news? After years of fragmentation, the pendulum is swinging back toward unified practice management. Modern, cloud-based platforms combine core firm functions—like workflow, document sharing, e-signatures, billing, and even specialized features such as IRS transcript downloads—into a single ecosystem. Rather than forcing staff to bounce between multiple browser tabs, these tools consolidate everything under one login.

Michael Salmon, Senior Solutions Consultant at Canopy, highlights how these new practice management solutions address app fatigue. “There’s a direct integration with your email and calendar, so you never have to leave the system to schedule meetings or attach emails to tasks,” he explains. “Tasks, time tracking, billing, document management, e-signature—they’re all under one roof. That way, you’re not paying for five or six different subscriptions, nor do you have staff re-entering data.”

An Inside Look at Modern Features

While these capabilities highlight how modern platforms unify daily workflows, the next step is understanding what it takes to implement such solutions—and whether the cost and transition effort truly pay off for your firm.

1. Integrated Email & Calendar
Instead of flipping between Outlook or Gmail and your tasks, modern platforms pull your mailbox and calendar into the same screen. You can attach an email thread to a specific client project @-mention colleagues for internal discussions or launch a timer for billable work right from the email. This not only keeps all client communication in one place but also streamlines collaboration when multiple team members touch the same client.

2. Document Management & Client Portals
A single repository for all client documents—complete with clear privacy controls—removes the need for separate internal and external storage systems. “One of the biggest pain points we solved was having to create separate folder structures just to hide files from the client,” says Salmon. “Now you can mark an item as ‘visible’ or ‘private’ and keep everything in one folder. Clients can log into a custom-branded portal, see just the documents you’ve shared, sign them electronically, or upload files using the same portal.”

3. Workflow & Task Automation
Teams can create repeatable templates for engagements like 1040 prep or monthly bookkeeping. Each step in the process—requesting bank statements, reconciling accounts, and final reviews—can be built into a template with clear deadlines and staff assignments. Automated triggers (e.g., “Once the 1065 task is completed, create a 1040 task”) mean fewer manual handoffs and status-check emails. “It’s about letting the system manage the process so you can focus on the client,” Salmon notes.

4. Time Tracking & Billing
Time spent on tasks can be tracked through start-stop timers or recorded after the fact. Integrated billing converts that tracked time into invoices, which can be sent to the same portal for client payment. Because everything is connected, you reduce data entry and gain real-time visibility into WIP, outstanding invoices, and staff performance.

5. Tax Resolution & Specialized Tools
Firms looking to expand into more profitable services—such as tax resolution—can benefit from integrated modules that retrieve IRS transcripts and notices. “You can pull a client’s transcripts without leaving the platform, identify issues, generate forms, and keep everything organized with the rest of your workflow,” says Salmon. This single login for tax controversy work, e-signatures, and billing cuts down on even more overhead.

6. AI-Powered Assistance
Many modern solutions now embed AI to handle repetitive tasks and speed up communications. For example, you can draft email responses to client questions based on context or generate custom live dashboards by simply typing a question (“Show me my top-billed clients this quarter”).

What About Cost and Implementation?

One concern is cost. While an all-in-one platform may carry a monthly subscription per user, many firms find they’re actually saving money by replacing half a dozen (or more) separate systems. “If you’re paying for e-sign, file storage, workflow, and a handful of other apps separately, switching to an all-in-one platform often consolidates spend. Plus, your staff only has to learn one solution,” Salmon says.

Implementation can take a few weeks or months, depending on how many modules a firm adopts and how many years of documents and client data must be migrated. Providers like Canopy typically offer implementation specialists to help firms with data imports, template setup, and staff training. “Nobody wants to feel overwhelmed during adoption,” Salmon admits. “But once your data and clients are in one system, the day-to-day efficiency gains make it worthwhile.”

The Future: Efficiency Without Fragmentation

Unified, cloud-based practice management software restores the simplicity that desktop-era systems once provided—while adding the flexibility, mobility, and real-time collaboration capabilities that modern firms demand. By eliminating the need for countless browser tabs and apps, staff can stay focused on delivering client value rather than wrestling with technology.

“We don’t even call it ‘cloud’ anymore,” Oliver points out. “This is just how firms operate now. The difference is you no longer have to build your own Frankenstein’s monster of apps. You can get back to an all-in-one ecosystem but built for the realities of today’s accounting practice.”

If you’re curious to see exactly how an integrated solution works in real-time—email, tasks, billing, client requests, e-signatures, and more—watch the full Earmark Expo webinar featuring a hands-on demo of Canopy. You’ll see firsthand how unifying key functions can dramatically reduce the friction that comes with managing 50 separate apps.

Accounting Firms Boost Profits by 10% Without Losing Clients—Here’s How

Blake Oliver · February 7, 2025 ·

Are outdated billing practices holding your accounting firm back? 

While many firms see proposal and payment systems as necessary yet purely administrative, forward-thinking practitioners are discovering their immense potential to reshape client relationships—and boost profitability.

In a recent Earmark Expo webinar, Tom Maxwell of Ignition showed how modern engagement systems do more than simply streamline operations. They fundamentally change how clients perceive and value accounting services. Forward-thinking CPAs are eliminating accounts receivable, implementing annual price increases, and shifting from after-the-fact billing to genuine value-based partnerships.

The results are striking: Firms report implementing 10% annual price increases with no negative impact on client acceptance rates. More importantly, they’re building stronger relationships rooted in transparency, clarity, and mutual respect.

Below, we explore how these systems turn traditional billing bottlenecks into opportunities for transformation.

The Billing Bottleneck: More Than Just a Payment Problem

For many accounting firms, getting paid feels like an administrative hassle. However, according to Tom Maxwell, this challenge runs deeper—right to the heart of client relationships and firm profitability.

After talking to thousands of firms, Tom identified three main reasons clients struggle to see the true value of accounting services:

  1. Mandatory compliance work: Clients often see compliance as a “must-do” rather than a “value-add.”
  2. Expertise gap: Clients rarely grasp the depth of expertise required for high-quality work.
  3. Value disconnect: When billing happens long after services begin, clients lose sight of the direct benefit.

The result is a vicious cycle of payment delays and weaker client relationships. But forward-thinking firms find that modern engagement systems address both the practical and psychological barriers head-on—starting with the first client interaction.

Transforming Client Engagement from Day One

Modern engagement systems reshape the client experience right from the start, setting clear expectations and articulating value. Gone are outdated PDF proposals, manual credit card processing, and clunky engagement letters—all of which can subtly lower the perceived value of your services.

Instead, clients receive a digital, professional proposal that:

  • Clearly lays out services and value
  • Offers up to three package options with different billing frequencies
  • Guarantees payment authorization before work begins

“My favorite feature,” Tom says, “is that clients must enter payment information before accepting the proposal. That ensures you get paid for your services before you even get started.”

This process is also more secure—no more mishandling of credit card details. Once clients accept a proposal, they receive a signed engagement letter, and their payment information is securely stored for future billing. This streamlined approach does more than save time; it also signals professionalism and shifts the conversation from awkward payment requests to demonstrating tangible client value.

From Reactive to Proactive: Managing Dynamic Client Relationships

With a rock-solid foundation in place, modern systems empower firms to become more proactive. They not only enable systematic price increases but also enhance client relationships.

“We found that Ignition customers were increasing prices by about 10% on average in the past year,” Tom explains. “And when we added the feature enabling a standard price increase, there was no change to proposal acceptance rates.” 

These tools also end stressful negotiations around scope creep or service changes. Firms can quickly update both service levels and pricing, and automated billing continues seamlessly. Every adjustment is tracked for full transparency, reducing tensions and letting both parties focus on a healthy working relationship.

Integrated workflows further enhance automation. For instance, if you integrate payroll data, your fees can automatically scale based on fluctuating employee counts—so you’re always fairly compensated as client needs evolve. By treating billing adjustments and scope changes as a routine, expected part of the engagement, firms solidify their value without appearing adversarial or inflexible.

Embracing Modern Engagement Systems: The Path to Business Transformation

This evolution—from billing bottleneck to strategic asset—goes beyond operational efficiency. It marks a foundational shift in how firms approach client relationships.

By tackling the practical and psychological pain points of billing, modern engagement systems let you focus on what truly matters: delivering measurable value. The evidence is clear:

  • Accounts receivable evaporates
  • Annual fee increases of 10% become standard—with minimal client pushback
  • Client relationships strengthen through transparency and respect

Watch the full Earmark Expo to see these tools in action. You’ll see how industry leaders implement automated billing, consistent price updates, and stronger client relationships—freeing them to concentrate on higher-value, growth-oriented services.

The future favors firms that view proposal and payment systems as strategic levers for better, more profitable client relationships. The question isn’t if you should upgrade your engagement systems—it’s how soon you can begin.

Automation in Payment Management: A Game Changer for Accountants

Blake Oliver · January 22, 2025 ·

For decades, accountants have had to schedule payments days in advance, juggle multiple bank logins, and painstakingly track every invoice and bill to ensure vendors get paid on time. That outdated process is rapidly changing, thanks to new platforms that leverage real-time payment rails like FedNow and RTP (Real-Time Payments). These innovations promise to streamline payments, reduce risk, and free accounting professionals to focus on strategic advisory services.

During a recent Earmark Expo, Forwardly CEO Nick Chandi joined hosts Blake Oliver and David Leary to showcase how accountants can tap into these instant payment rails. Below are the highlights from the conversation, illustrating how a platform like Forwardly can upgrade your payment processes—without requiring a drastic overhaul of your accounting systems.

FedNow and RTP: The Dawn of Real-Time Payments

The U.S. payment infrastructure is evolving. FedNow is the Federal Reserve’s new service enabling near-instant settlement—often in under a minute—while RTP (offered by The Clearing House) also provides real-time capabilities. According to Nick, about 77% of bank accounts are already covered by one or both of these rails, making real-time payments more accessible than ever.

But what if a payer’s bank doesn’t support instant payments yet? Forwardly’s fallback is same-day ACH—at no charge—ensuring no disruption in payment flows. This approach guarantees the fastest possible route for every transaction without complexity on the user’s end.

A Single Dashboard for All Clients

One of the biggest challenges for accountants is managing payments across multiple clients, each with their own bank accounts and approval chains. Forwardly consolidates all this data into a single dashboard, showing:

  • Real-Time Bank Balances: Aggregated balances across each client’s accounts, updated continuously (via Plaid, when available).
  • Outstanding Bills and Invoices: Pulled from integrated accounting systems such as QuickBooks Online, Xero, FreshBooks, and Zoho.
  • Approvals at a Glance: Quickly see which bills need sign-off and where each payment stands in the workflow.

No more guessing whether there’s enough cash on hand—Forwardly’s system checks and balances before processing bills. The platform sends a warning if a payment is scheduled but funds are insufficient. For accountants, this level of visibility is a huge step toward proactive cash flow management and strategic advisory.

Four-Way Sync and Flexible Integrations

For those who already maintain invoices and bills in QuickBooks Online or Xero, Forwardly automatically pulls those records into its dashboard. Conversely, if you create an invoice directly in Forwardly, it syncs to your ledger. Nick described a “four-way sync” feature that can even pass invoices from a QuickBooks user to a Xero user, bridging two different accounting systems.

What about clients on QuickBooks Desktop or those without a formal accounting system? Forwardly allows you to accept or send payments by connecting directly to a bank account. This flexibility means you can standardize real-time payment processes for all your clients, regardless of their tech stack.

Auto-Payments and Approvals

Recurring invoices can be an accountant’s headache—especially if payment amounts vary. Forwardly addresses this with “auto-payments.” After requesting client authorization via a white-labeled form, the platform automatically collects any invoice that appears. You can also schedule future payments or pay right at the due date, minimizing the float time and optimizing cash flow.

The system enforces proper controls via robust approvals. You can set multi-step thresholds (e.g., payments over $5,000 require two sign-offs). Only when the last designated approver clicks “okay” does the money move. In a nonprofit or multi-partner environment, this ensures checks and balances without bogging you down in manual processes.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

Forwardly’s pricing reflects its focus on instant payments:

  • Instant Payments (FedNow or RTP): 1% of the transaction, capped at $10 per payment.
  • Fallback Same-Day ACH: Free when instant rails are not available.
  • Credit Cards: 2.99% + $0.25 per transaction to get paid on invoices. You can choose to pass through the credit card fee to your customer.

Because same-day ACH is free, you only pay a fee when an instant transaction goes through. This keeps costs low while delivering the speed your clients want—no monthly fees or subscription costs are required. Also, another added benefit is that paying bills with Forwardly is free and it takes only 60 seconds. 

Enhanced Role Permissions for Accounting Firms

Firms often need to assign different levels of responsibility to staff. In Forwardly, an Admin or Advisor role carries “superpowers,” meaning they can bypass approval workflows if necessary. A Payment Manager can schedule or initiate payments but cannot override set thresholds. A Reviewer can view details without being able to approve or send money. Each user can be assigned different permissions for different client files, making it easy to stay compliant and maintain sound internal controls. You also get an unlimited number of users at no additional cost.

Transforming Accountants into Payment Strategists

In the demo, Blake and David underscored how real-time payments free accountants to offer more proactive advice to clients. Instead of guessing when to cut checks or dealing with delayed receipts, you can precisely time cash outflows and inflows. You’ll know within seconds whether a transaction succeeded, and you can immediately confirm the date and time in the ledger.

With manual drudgery reduced, accountants can shift their focus to cash flow forecasting, budgeting, and even advisory on optimal payment timing—turning what used to be a cost center into a high-value service offering. By adopting real-time payments, you enable your clients to pay (and get paid) at the speed of modern business.

Looking Ahead

Currently, Forwardly caters exclusively to B2B transactions. Nick explained that personal (consumer) payments are not yet part of the platform. However, expansions to other ERP systems like NetSuite and Sage Intacct and potential consumer capabilities are on the roadmap.

Ready to Upgrade Your Payment Process?

Payment automation isn’t just about moving money faster; it’s about transforming how accountants serve their clients. From centralized dashboards to auto-payments and real-time visibility, modern tools like Forwardly make handling everything from daily bills to large, time-sensitive transactions easier.
