Maximize your ROI with Enterprise-Grade Accounting Integrations

In today’s competitive business landscape, offering a connected product while keeping costs down is key to your product’s success. For Product Managers and CXOs, building robust accounting integrations to offer a connected product is a critical step toward maximizing ROI and ensuring growth.

But building integrations is not easy. In this blog, we'll explore the return on investment (ROI) of two approaches to integrating accounting platforms in your product: building and maintaining them in-house or using a Unified API provider like RootFi.

The High Cost of In-House Accounting Integrations

Developing and maintaining in-house accounting integrations can be an expensive and resource-intensive process. It involves significant investment in terms of both time and money.

1. Developer Costs

Engineers will need to dedicate hundreds of hours both to build and maintain integrations. Depending on the number and complexity of API integrations needed, this could cost you months if not quarters, and thousands of dollars in salaries.

Unfortunately, building integrations is not a one-time activity, as they need constant maintenance for API updates, bugs, and errors.

2. Partnership Costs

Additionally, some accounting platforms charge exorbitant fees to simply access their API documentation and sandbox, all before your team starts building. These mandatory partnership agreements can further inflate the costs of building in-house.

3. Opportunity Costs of In-House Accounting Integrations

Beyond the direct financial implications, the opportunity costs of in-house API integrations are substantial. When your team is focused on building and maintaining these integrations, they are diverted from more valuable projects. This could include developing new features, improving the existing product, or enhancing customer support - all of which can have a direct impact on customer satisfaction and business growth.
