What Does a Zoho Books Implementation Include?
A Zoho Books implementation involves more than creating an organization and entering accounting details. A properly planned implementation includes business process discovery, accounting configuration, users and permissions, tax setup, customer and vendor structure, workflows, migration, integrations, automation, testing, training and go-live support.
