However, the process is prone to error and time consuming for accountants because they must keep spreadsheets, manually input data, and actively manage balances and settlements in their trust accounts.<\/p>\n To simplify the process, Refund Manager was developed by the creators of ELodge and to date nearly $1.4 billion worth of refunds have been managed through the system.<\/p>\n Refund Manager CEO Steven Gibson says he is proud to partner with Reckon and their Reckon Elite product, to help ease the administrative burden for accountants across Australia.<\/p>\n \u201cWe created an automated system that seamlessly integrates with other tax lodgement software. Once you\u2019re on our system, you can manage fee from refunds in just two minutes a day,\u201d says Gibson.<\/p>\n \u201cThe most important thing is that Refund Manager never requires you to give up control of your trust accounts. We give you the power through software to more efficiently manage and distribute funds.\u201d<\/p>\n Campbell Ross, Reckon\u2019s Strategic Partnerships Manager, says the company chose to partner with Refund Manager because of the simplicity and efficiency benefits to accountants.<\/p>\n \u201cDealing with the hassle of processing fee from refunds is known to be tedious and time consuming for accountants,\u201d says Ross.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have chosen to partner with Refund Manager to give our clients using Reckon Elite a much simpler and more efficient way of managing fee from refunds.\u00a0 Simply complete the return, mark it as a fee from refund and raise the invoice.\u00a0 Refund Manager will take care of the rest.\u201d<\/p>\n For more information or to sign up, visit: https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/elite\/refund-manager<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”60%” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For media enquiries, contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”60%” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Steven Gibson, Refund Manager [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Rogier deJonge, Reckon Elite [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”60%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ReckonRefundManagerPartnershipThumbnail.jpg” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”60%” max_width=”60%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/content.refundmanager.com.au\/hubfs\/ReckonRefundManagerPartnership%20(4).jpg” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Download image in high resolution” admin_label=”Download image in high resolution” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Pictured L-R is Refund Manager CEO Steven Gibson and Reckon Strategic Partnerships Manager Campbell Ross.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”60%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” pac_dcm_carousel_specific_module_num=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”About Refund Manager and Reckon” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n About Refund Manager<\/strong> About Reckon<\/strong>Fee from refund process streamlined with Reckon and Refund Manager partnership<\/h1>\n
