Running your business on the web for free
I have been frustrated for a while with my accounting and I wanted to share with you a shortcut that I discovered after a lot of trial and error. Most people I know in startups want to devote their working day to finding customers and selling instead of doing accounting. All businesses have to be committed to doing their accounting if they want to avoid problems.
I asked my accountant for advice and he convinced me I should use Sage Software which turned out to be a small business accounting software package. I immediately went out and bought the software without even considering if it would suit my needs. This was definitely one of the worst mistakes I made as the application turned out to be really hard to get to grips with and use. To be straight with you whenever I find the word accounting together with the word software I am always reminded of the first piece of advice I must share with you and that is just about all small business accounting software makes the assumption the user possesses good practical knowledge of accounting.
I had to discover a solution that would work for me so reluctantly I cancelled everything in my schedule and set aside quality time to find a solution. It was really worthwhile doing this as I found a more functional solution than I could ever of dreamed of named salesorder.com.
This is possibly the simplest system I have ever found and what’s more it is web 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 people at salesorder.com know their subject, just like their software they are a pleasure to work with and better still are happy to spend substantial time with their customers (even the free ones) helping folks 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.
