Take some time to compare accounting software
Successful businesses are always in a state of refinement because no operation is perfect. There’s always a better way to work, improve services or products, cut costs, heighten data security, heighten flexibility (think mobile apps)…and the list goes on.
Technology is typically at the top of the refinement list. Just think about how quickly technologies change. The release of something newer, faster, and more intuitive is constant—whether that’s in the form of a brand new accounting solution or application updates.
If it’s been a while since you evaluated your current small business accounting software, even if it’s QuickBooks, you may be doing your business a disservice. You owe it to yourself to make sure you’re using the right accounting tools to support your needs.
Using the right technologies to automate processes and run an efficient operation is paramount. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of analysis points to help you conduct a thorough evaluation of your existing accounting system and compare QuickBooks alternative solutions (e.g., Sage, Sage 50 cloud, Xero, Freshbooks, CRM solutions, Zoho Books, Excel).
