Ask any entrepreneur, and it’s unlikely that their favorite part of growing a business is doing the accounting. Their plates are full. They’ve got countless important responsibilities and tasks to manage. And they battle for success from a variety of fronts. From operations and employee management to sales, marketing, and business strategy, their lists are long and their days are full.
Let’s be honest: Even the bravest among business owners—those who do their own taxes and generate their own reports—would rather be in meetings moving projects forward or closing deals with customers and clients.
But, like it or not, it’s critical to every entrepreneur’s success that they manage their financial story with speed, precision, and effectiveness.
Making matters worse, if they are not accounting experts, business owners can easily choose the wrong accounting tools for the job. Are they able to monitor how their business is doing on demand? Are they confident in the accuracy of their calculations and reports? Can they translate the numbers into insights? Do they have any ability to forecast upcoming ebbs or flows in sales or demand that would help them seize opportunities, avoid loss, or set long-term goals?
To be worth their salt—and the cost—accounting platforms ultimately need to provide the full range of user-friendly features that allow entrepreneurs to breathe that sigh of relief when they know that their financial concerns are handled.
Ahhhh.
