Checkeeper offers user permission settings that allow account holders to reduce the work without compromising accuracy or security.  Looking to standardize and streamline the bookkeeping with more than one person authorized to issue payments? Consider some ways user permissions in Checkeeper can improve security in the business payment system without compromising efficiency:

Limit user permissions to only features needed

To add additional users to your Checkeeper account, simply input their names and email addresses, and Checkeeper handles the rest. Checkeeper will email each new user a secure link to follow to initiate account setup. Super users can designate which check printing and mailing features each new user can access. User permission settings can be expanded, limited, changed, or revoked at any time, keeping account owners in control of the payment process and the level of account usage each person can access.

Run reports to oversee users’ activity

Checkeeper offers powerful searching and reporting options for those times when you want to track expenses, locate the details of a specific payment, reconcile bank statements with check spending records, or run comprehensive reports that list all the payment data from within a designated time frame. Run a report right from within your account in order to generate a comprehensive spreadsheet that lists all the payment data for each check created, including the authorized user who initiated the payment and the date and time of check creation. This feature helps ensure oversight and transparency into the payment process and keeps everyone accountable.

Add approval requirements for better oversight and control

While authorized users can create checks, print them, and mail them—all at the account holder’s discretion—there may be situations where extra oversight is needed or desired. Add an approval requirement to the user settings if you want to approve of a payment before it is issued. This can be helpful with large and time-sensitive payments that need special handling or security. Add or revoke the approval requirement as needed so that your payment process is as efficient as possible.

Share the work

User permission settings don’t just aid account and bookkeeping security—they also lessen the work put upon any one person. When you want to delegate work to an employee or outsource some of the payment responsibility to a bookkeeper, user permission settings allow the work to be shared without compromising accuracy or security. Authorize your remote employee or bookkeeper, and set the permission settings to only what is needed. Oversee the payments from wherever you work or travel so that you can maintain maximum accountability with your money. And remember: Checkeeper does not touch your funds in order to enable custom business check printing. Checkeeper provides the correct template, with the proper MICR-encoded font recognized by bank computers, to enable printing and mailing of viable business checks. The account and routing numbers appear as you enter them, and they can be changed or deleted any time. None of your money is moved or held in a separate account in order for checks to be processed. Use your account in the way best suited to your business while still maintaining control over your money and oversight over the payment and bookkeeping processes.

User permission settings for optimal check security

Checkeeper follows account security protocols. Too many hands in the books can lead to problems, including errors, duplicated payments, missing records, and opportunities for fraud or misuse. However, user permission settings in Checkeeper allow multi-user access while still maintaining the integrity of the account because Checkeeper keeps everyone accountable and their transactions transparent to the account holder. Checkeeper user permissions allow users to reduce the work without reducing the security.
