Time Cost: Manual entry takes 5 minutes per invoice. For 100 invoices/day, that's 8.3 hours. For 1000 invoices/month, that's 83 hours of repetitive work.

Error Cost: Manual entry has a 3-5% error rate. Wrong amounts, missed GST, duplicate entries—all lead to reconciliation work, compliance issues, and audit queries.

Opportunity Cost: Staff could focus on analysis, advisory services, client relationships, and business growth. Instead, they're stuck typing invoices.
