Streamlined Accounting: Introducing Integration with Money Forward Cloud Accounting

New Integration for Streamed Accounting

Money Forward Inc. has recently rolled out a highly anticipated feature in its automated bookkeeping service, STREAMED. This innovation introduces an integration function with Money Forward Cloud Accounting, making it significantly easier for users to manage their accounting subjects. With this new API linkage, users can now import account titles and subcategories registered in Money Forward Cloud Accounting with just a click into their STREAMED settings. This advancement substantially reduces the initial setup workload and minimizes the double maintenance typically required when adding new account titles, ultimately enhancing business efficiency.

How It Works

The integration allows users to compare the list of account subjects registered in Money Forward Cloud Accounting with the account settings in STREAMED. Users need to link their Money Forward Cloud Accounting business account with STREAMED during their first use. Once linked, they can instantly retrieve any discrepancies in account titles for easy integration. This process includes importing crucial fields such as the name, tax classification, and search keys for each account title, which saves significant time and reduces redundancy in maintenance across different accounting software.

Background for the Launch

Historically, STREAMED and Money Forward Cloud Accounting have worked closely together to provide streamlined output of journal entry data. However, ongoing feedback from users highlighted the need for enhanced linking capabilities in the setup process. Responding to these requests, Money Forward has successfully implemented this integration function to facilitate a more coherent user experience when handling account settings.

Moving forward, STREAMED aims to continue developing features that support efficiency in bookkeeping tasks within accounting firms, focusing on optimizing routine operations as well.

Step-by-Step Guide for Using the New Integration

Here’s a quick guide to utilize the account subject linkage feature:

1. Navigate to the `Settings > Accounting Software and Account Subject` page in STREAMED and click the `Link Business for Cloud Accounting` button to select the desired business from Money Forward Cloud Accounting.
2. Grant permission for linkage.
3. After the linkage is complete, locate the `Retrieve Account Subjects` button on the same `Settings > Accounting Software and Account Subject` page in STREAMED and click it.
