The best technology to run your business
Saturday, October 31st, 2009
I have been frustrated for along period with my accounting and I wanted to share with you a shortcut that I uncovered after a lot of trial and error. Everyone who creates or runs a business has ’higher priority’ tasks to perform than spend time on their accounting. All businesses have to pay special attention to their accounting if they want to avoid issues.
When I initially began my bookkeeper suggested or should I say insisted that I used a small business accounting software package sold by a corporation called Sage Software. Without even seeing the software I blindly went ahead and bought the cheapest version I could find. This was arguably one of the worst mistakes I made as the software turned out to be really difficult to comprehend and use. OK my first piece of advice is that whenever you see the words accounting software proceed carefully as it probably means the designer is assuming you understand a substantial amount about accounting.
Just like me small business owners understand their craft and what they sell and not accounting but in my situation I was driven to allocate time to finding a system that would work for me. The great news is I found a really good answer, it’s an online system called salesorder.com.
Definitely the best application I have come across, salesorder.com works on the web and is really well designed and of course lets me work anywhere I can connect to the Internet. And here is the best bit I want to tell you, the team at salesorder.com know their stuff, just like their application they are easy 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 problems in my company and to top it off they have coached me in the accounting I need to know.
