FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About Crush Errors
Crush Errors is a reconciliation automation software created to reduce the time professionals take to reconcile their registers. It can be used for both financial purposes, that is reconciliation of bank accounts and more, or to reconcile user databases that might contain information that doesn't match up.
The software license fee is $2,000 a year. Services are billed at $250 an hour. You can go 100% service, 100% software, or anything in the middle. But our experience is that users often prefer to outsource all the work. Another model is when a client has a cookie cutter type situation, where they need similar, frequent, reconciliations, we can design a Crush macro that is so incredibly simple, we can teach someone how to use it in 30 minutes.
We’re not looking for customers. We’re looking for happy customers. Give us some sample data and we’ll do a reconciliation for you and will clearly demonstrate its value. Once you’re convinced and satisfied, we’ll start the clock.
Excel is incredible and improving all the time. But it cannot do what Crush does. It just cannot. It doesn’t have a clean reconciliation reporting engine. It can’t match “Dan’s Bar & Grill” with “Dans Bar and Grill.”. It can’t figure out how to apply 20 separate payments to 3 bills. It doesn’t have a macro language designed just for reconciliations. We’d love to show you the above and much more. Let’s meet in a demo.
That’s often satisfactory, especially once your bookkeeping is managed properly and updated regularly. We encounter situations that are typically much more challenging, and we hope to get our clients to the level where they can use the reconciliation tools in their accounting software.
The software can import directly from CSVs and XLSX files. It can also export in those formats.
The software is loaded into the browser from the cloud. It is a web app. The data stays in the browser and never is transmitted to the cloud. Every single calculation is in the browser. You can even load the software, disconnect from the Internet, and it will work just fine.
No. It’s very similar to desktop Excel. You load your file. You save your file. You email your file to someone else. They open it. They email it back. Similar to Excel, you can save your work and continue later on the same machine or any other computer with a browser.
It could be very easy or very hard depending on the complexity of the problem and how motivated the trainee is to learn. Our experience is that clients often do not want to learn it – they just want to fix their data – and we make that happen.
We're just about to start an important audit for last year. Crush Errors has been exceptionally useful to find unexpected typos and voided items. It even matched complex payroll entries to the bank statement for the last 18 months.
