Every now and then your assumptions can be challenged by an unexpected dose of reality. For example, a recent accounting study by Viewpost revealed that over a quarter of small businesses (SMBs) have no plan in the near future for a streamlined, end-to-end payment process.

Even more surprising, this poll of 5,000 U.S. decision makers revealed that 18 percent of SMBs don’t use accounting software at all and that only one in five (21 percent) have integrated their accounting software with an invoicing and payments product.

While one in four businesses plan to integrate their accounting with invoicing and payments by the end of 2017, over 27 percent have no plans at all for integration.
