However, this can make the decision making an even harder process...\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Whether you\u2019re a graphic designer or a florist, a freelancer or a greengrocer, whatever the business you\u2019re running is, you are sure to need some kind of accounting system to keep on top of things. The days of throwing all paperwork into the back of a drawer, then panicking when tax time comes around isn\u2019t the ideal way to manage accounts.<\/p> You probably think that you will need to invest a huge amount of money into decent accounting software, or try and learn something that is hopelessly complicated.<\/p> Well, it’s not quite like that, most accounting software is easy to use \u2013 and sometimes it’s even FREE. Plus, it will enable you to see how well your business is doing and, most importantly, who owes you money.<\/p> The question is though:<\/p> How do you determine which is the best accounting software for you and your business?<\/p> The likelihood is that you won’t find one that exactly matches your requirements; and you need to keep in mind that what you need at this exact moment may not be what you will need say, in a year from now.<\/p> But, don\u2019t worry, help is at hand\u2026<\/strong><\/p> To save you the time and effort, I have reviewed the top 7 Best Small Business Accounting Software programmes out there and have highlighted both the good and bad points to help you make the right choice for both you and your business.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Years ago, accounting software was cumbersome and complex and was geared up towards larger enterprises, rather than small businesses. Now, however, that has all changed. There is a huge range of software that has been specially designed for both self-employed workers and small businesses. The great thing is that most are reasonably priced \u2013 and some of them are even FREE!!!<\/p> These software programmes are designed to make managing your business finances a whole lot easier, helping you with things such as invoicing, bookkeeping, payroll, and inventory. Many of the products also include loads of useful reporting tools, to help track cash-flow and monitor profits and losses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Ok, so, if you’re reading this review, I guess it’s because you’ve had enough of messing around.<\/p> Perhaps you’ve had it with trying to organise that overflowing box of receipts \u2013 you know, the ones that you’ve kept hidden under your desk for the past six months (out of sight out of mind, right?)? Or maybe you’re struggling to recover a lost Excel document that contained all your January sales records…<\/p> All growing businesses have that ‘light bulb’ moment when they suddenly realize that there must be a better way to manage their finances.<\/p> If this is you and you’re experiencing this light bulb moment (and let me just say: don’t be scared, just embrace it!!) \u2013 well, now is the time to invest in an accounting software programme, BUT…<\/strong> not before you have read this awesome review.\u00a0<\/p> So, let’s get going. Every business both needs and should have accounting software. This allows the business to reconcile their accounts, balance the books, and actually know and understand where their money is going. It is a must for making informed business decisions, but is also the key to filing CORRECT taxes at the end of each year.<\/p> What ‘good’ accounting software does is to provide bank reconciliation, double-entry accounting, charts of accounts, and reporting \u2013 meaning that you can easily balance the books and correctly manage your finances.\u00a0<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> These days, modern accountancy software is generally cloud-based and is compatible with both PCs and Macs, as well as being mobile friendly \u2013 which means that it can be used on any device. Most of them also offer business management tools such as time tracking, invoicing and project management, as well as free trials \u2013 which is great as it means that you can see if it suits your needs before committing to it. The REALLY GOOD ones also throw in customer service resources, which are great for teaching you how to actually understand accounting and therefore manage your finances successfully.<\/p> But how do you know which accounting programme to choose? After all, there are loads out there. <\/p> How do you know if you need full-blown accounting software or something more straightforward, such as an invoicing software app?<\/p> Don’t panic (deep breathes), that’s what this review is all about.<\/p> We’ve tested the top 7 business accounting software and have delved into each of their software features including, ease of use, customer support, and price.
