I have been frustrated for along period with my bookkeeping and I wanted to share with you a shortcut that I uncovered after a lot of trial and error. People in startups tend to prefer doing more significant jobs like acquiring, listening to and keeping customers in preference to looking after their accounting. All organisations have to pay special attention to their bookkeeping if they want to avoid disaster.

I asked my bookkeeper for guidance and he convinced me I should use Sage Software which turned out to be a small business accounting software package. Without even getting familiar with software I naively went ahead and bought the lowest cost version I could find. This was arguably one of the worst mistakes I made as the application turned out to be really difficult to comprehend and use. OK my first piece of wisdom is that whenever you see the words accounting software proceed carefully as it probably means the designer isassuming you understand a enough about accounting.

I had to find a solution that would work for me so reluctantly I cleared my schedule and allocated quality time to find an answer. The great news is I discovered a really excellent answer, it’s an online system known as salesorder.com.

Arguably the best software I have discovered, salesorder.com works on the internet and is really well designed and of course lets me do my job anywhere I can connect to the net. And here is the best bit I want to share with you, the team at salesorder.com know their subject, just like their system 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 solve real problems in my company and to top it off they have coached me in the accounting I need to know.
