When is the right time to move from manual to fully automated?

The flags should pop up as soon as you realise you spend more time on decision-making than on managing the conflicts. It's time to automate your business if you have 500+ transactions a month, multiple bank accounts, or your employees detect anomalies after it's too late. Be careful not to be too dependent on human memory if you'll lose your whole Account Reconciliation Services process without a key member of staff.
