The best technology to run your business
Accounting is for accountants and what’s more infuriating is they want to keep it this way, so it’s not really suprising that individuals similar to me who own a small business and cannot and don’t want to pay an accountant discovered the shortcut I want to give to you here. Most managers I know in small companies want to devote their working day to getting customers and selling as opposed to doing bookkeeping. All organisations have to be committed to doing their bookkeeping if they want to avoid disaster.
I asked my accountant for help and he persuaded me to use Sage Software which turned out to be a small business accounting software package. I immediately went out and bought the package without even contemplating if it was the right choice. Looking back I am lucky I didn’t waste too much cash on this as this system is arguably the worst and most complex system I have ever had the misfortune to use. To be frank whenever I see the word accounting together with the word software I am immediately reminded of the first lesson I must share with you and that is the majority of small business accounting software makes the assumption the user possesses good practical knowledge of accounting.
Just like me small company owners know about their craft and the product or service they sell and not accounting but in my case I was driven to devote time to finding a solution that would work for me. It was really worth doing this as I found a more fitting solution than I could ever of dreamed of named salesorder.com.
This is possibly the easiest system I have ever found and what’s more it is internet based and therefore I can use it from anywhere I want to work. And here is the coolest bit I want to tell you, the team at salesorder.com know their stuff, just like their service they are a joy to work with and better still are happy to spend substantial time with their users (even the free ones) helping folks like me to understand and address real issues in my business and to top it off they have shared with me the accounting I need to know.
