Time… and … accounting software!
How can accounting software give you more time? I must be talking nonsense!
We covered the benefits and features of Xero cloud based accounting software, in this post:
https://www.businessowner-cover.com/financial-industry-news/accounting-freaking-you-out/
I even showed you people using it. Did you try the accounting software?
No? Then your time, got in the way of your accounting software… freeing up more of your time.
What do you want in accounting software?
- A lot of small businesses are still using spreadsheet software to do accounts- you don’t want this– you want:
- Interactivity/ integration- you want to integrate with apps you already use, you want robust features- you want to send an invoice without having to go into another system.
- You want the feeds from your bank account to be pulled into the system that you use, so that you don’t waste time recapturing what is already available right now.
- You want to be able to let your accountant/ bookkeeper interact in real time, at the same time, if you desire this- so you can see the same thing together, even though you may be kilometres away from each other.
- You want a cloud based solution, so that the system is available wherever and whenever and however (think mobile- think cell phone) you want.
- You love the idea of taking a “selfie” of the bill and submitting it to your accounting software right there and then and it is stored in your system… instead of going home and putting it into the box of bills, (that your dog just ate half of).
- You love the idea of the system being backed up through the cloud, of updates running immediately that they are available
- You love pulling reports from your ipad or phone immediately, to help you with that quick decision.
These are some of the feelings you get when you run Xero accounting software.
I know… it’s a lot of “loving”!
Don’t believe me, here is a beautiful example from an MD of a firm that switched from another well known (in South Africa) accounting software package. I had to include it, it is so well written. Converting to Xero. (from Pastel)
