Software as a service to run your business
I have been struggling for a while with my accounting and I wanted to share with you a shortcut that I uncovered after a lot of trial and error. Most individuals I know in startups want to devote their time to targeting customers and selling instead of doing bookkeeping. Accounting is one of those arduous tasks that very few people look forward to doing but should be performed on a consistent basis to avoid disaster.
When I first started my business my bookkeeper suggested or should I say insisted that I used a small business accounting software package developed by a company called Sage Software. Without even testing software I simply went ahead and bought the cheapest system I could find. This was arguably one of the worst mistakes I made as the system turned out to be really hard to understand and use. OK my first piece of wisdom is that whenever you see the words accounting software proceed carefully as it definitely means the developer is assuming you know a great deal about accounting.
Just like me small company people understand their craft and the product or service they sell and not accounting but in my case I was driven to allocate time to finding a solution that would work for me. The good news is I found a really good answer, it’s an online system known as salesorder.com.
Definitely the best application I have discovered, salesorder.com works on the web and is really well designed and of course lets me work anywhere I can connect to the net. And here is the best bit I want to tell you, the team at salesorder.com know their subject, just like their system they are a pleasure to work with and better still are happy to spend quality time with their users (even the free ones) helping people like me to understand and address real issues in my business and to top it off they have tutored me in the accounting I need to know.
