Why do I need accounting software when my business is running fine the way it is?

Do more with less – Rather than running yourself ragged, you can rely on accounting software to help you create order from chaos, ensure healthy cash flow, make good short-term decisions, and follow sound long-term strategies.
Find out about the 7 ways an automated accounting system can help you do more with less.

Is my money in higher than money out?

You want to know if you made a profit and if you charged enough to cover your rent and utilities. That's when you need a financial statement. While you're busy selling, collecting cash, and paying the bills, all of the transactions are being recorded properly so they feed to the proper lines on your financial statements.

Am I charging the right price for my products or services?

You have probably begun to buy and sell items or services on account and you need to be able to take advantage of bulk purchase and early payment discounts. You can generate reports showing who owes what and when it is due. You can review payment history and set credit limits so that slow-paying customers can't keep buying products or services. And you can store billing and shipping addresses. The right system can help you focus your time and energy on serving your best customers.

Am I buying the right items, in the right quantities, at the best possible price?

If you sell products, you have to find suppliers and you have to accumulate inventory. That means you need to negotiate supplier discounts, keep track of invoice due dates, and make payments to vendors. At the same time, you have to keep track of product reorder lead times, quantities of goods on hand, and slow moving items. You can analyze purchases by supplier to negotiate discounts and review your product mix to see which items are moving quickly and which ones are languishing on the shelf. You can use reports to keep your inventory replenished and to review profitability by item. At any time, you can correct your item mix before you get off track.

Am I collecting the proper amount of tax?

Every business has to comply with a myriad of rules and regulations. Changes to tax rates, taxability rules, and filing requirements are a regular occurrence for most businesses. An automated solution is designed to store, track, and manage tax rates and rules. Well-designed systems also support updates that can bring your system into compliance with very little pain. With the right solution, you can easily respond to changes in rules and rates and reduce your risk of penalties.
