Use erp. Before erp, I think there used to be big building filled with people doing book keeping. It’s interesting to know how big firms finalised accounts in 1960’s. I guess people used to send posts, walk around the office to gather information and tax authorities must have had given extra five month time to do the filings. ;) Accountants also used to shout at everyone and push everyone in the offices to do the job properly. I also heard they used to slap young interns if they made errors.
