Accounting Software for Publishers

Accounting

Integrated solutions to support revenue recognition and accounting checks and balances.

Revenue Recognition

LaunchPad offers the accounting department flexibility in the revenue recognition process while maintaining standard GAP procedures.

Customized Invoice Templates

LaunchPad offers over 40 invoice templates, plus the option to build custom templates to meet your specific business and customer needs.

Combined Invoicing

For customers receiving one invoice a month, create a combined invoice while maintaining independent revenue recognition and GL strings.

Email Invoices

The AR department can email invoices in bulk to all customers in a billing register. LaunchPad CRM will keep track of the emails sent as an audit trail.

Accounting Checks & Balances

LaunchPad takes the practice of proper accounting very seriously. The LaunchPad system was designed to inherently maintain correct and cohesive audit trails in order to prevent "wild west" accounting procedures within AR departments. Since LaunchPad is permission driven, the accounting functions can be customized for each individual within your group, regardless of a user's level of expertise.

Strict Permission Management

Permissions of functions and views inside LaunchPad can be managed on an employee-by-employee basis and allows an administrator more control and security.

More Efficiency; Less Interruption

Because LaunchPad publishing CRM fully integrates with company back office functions, the accounting team can work without interruption from sales reps or customers. All users of LaunchPad have access to real-time invoices.

Integration and AR Conversion

During integration with LaunchPad, our team maps the data from the current accounting system. Quite simply, no LaunchPad integration will move forward without the blessing of the accounting department.

Work Remotely

LaunchPad is a web-based solution allowing the accounting team to work from anywhere. Pull reports, create invoices or pull up customer information from any internet-connected phone, tablet or mobile device.

Receipts

The LaunchPad publishing CRM allows your AR department to quickly and easily manage checks, wire transfers and credit card charges, including an API connection to Authorize.net. LaunchPad can also manage the creation of credit memos, sales memos and trade memos.

Fast Receipts One-Step Process

Accounting teams can quickly receive funds in LaunchPad whether a check, ACH, or credit card. Transactions can be posted to multiple bank accounts and applied directly to open invoices or allocated as pre-payments to future orders.

Manage Trade

When media companies offer trade as a form of payment, it still requires oversight and management. With LaunchPad, trade receipts can be managed and inventory can be created for use among staff.

Receipts Reporting

LaunchPad's AR department reports are designed specifically around receipts. View pre-payments, applied credits, unapplied credits, banks summary, and credit card batches, making for simple and streamlined reconciliations.

Accounts Receivable Management

Accurate A/R Aging

LaunchPad provides the accounting departments with insight into the receivables of the customers and sales and management teams retain insight into can view these details. Sales departments are one click away from real-time invoices, aging, and recent payment history.

Collection Call List

A report that is customized based on aging criteria, the collection call list offers a single view for the collections department. Teams can call or email the customer, print invoices or statement and leave conversation notes.

Multiple Accounting Divisions

Manage receivables across multiple accounting divisions tied to different revenue streams within each business unit. LaunchPad can also track different currencies by product and accounting division.

General Ledger

Customize GL Codes and Strings

LaunchPad recognizes that each of our customers has a different way of stringing together their GL numbers. In LaunchPad publishing CRM, users can create the proper string as well as tie GL codes to the proper revenue streams and buckets.

Monthly GL Summary and Tie Out

Accounting can pull a monthly GL Summary to balance with the general ledger in many ERP systems. Our team also offers a tie out report by customer for a more granular look at the data.

GL Integration

Many publishers use a wide variety of ERP systems to manage the P&L side of their business. LaunchPad integrates seamlessly with several of these systems through API connections or simple export features, including Great Plains, Intacct, MAS, NAV and others.

GL Analytics Reporting

LaunchPad offers AR staff the ability to create custom analysts reporting centered around GL codes. These reports can be created on the fly and saved for future use.

Our customers love us

Brendan Casey

Chief Financial Officer

LaunchPad is great.

We purchased two databases several years ago to run the two parts of our company. The folks at LaunchPad were great! They came out here and did a site visit. Interviewed the key users and our team and then came back with an implementation plan and schedule. Within a few weeks we were up and running on LaunchPad.

Three years later and that other database still isn’t up and running and has only become a source or pain and frustration not to mention a waste of money.

Thank you LaunchPad!

Staff Accountant

What do I like about LaunchPad? I love the fact that I can access every part of our organization by just using one system. I’m not logging into a Production program, a Billing Program, another separate Receivables system, and a system for commissions. It’s all on this one system we uniformly use and have access to just what we need, so it’s not confusion with so many options. It’s very user friendly, and when it comes to accounting, not often do you find accounting software that’s easy to use.

Collections Manager

As a collection manager, I can say that LaunchPad gives me the tools I need to be well informed about an account. While on the phone with the client, I have the ability to read my notes, the sales executive notes, and get a well rounded picture of what is going on with the account; past, present, and future activities. I can be in credit management, notes and sales history all at the same time. This allows me to effectively use my time collecting on the accounts.

LaunchPad is awesome! Since our Accounting Dept is located in PA, I love how we can access insertion order and all other sales information from the NY office right in LaunchPad! Makes things so much easier!!!
