Bookkeeping used to totally frustrate me and as a result I had to discover an easier way which I want to give you. Most owners I know in startups want to devote their working day to finding customers and making sales as opposed to doing accounting. Accounting is one of those arduous tasks that very few people look forward to doing but must be undertaken on a regular basis to avoid issues.

When I initially started out my accountant advised or should I say insisted that I used a small business accounting software package made by a corporation called Sage Software. Without even trying out software I naively went ahead and bought the cheapest system I could find. This was definitely one of the worst mistakes I made as the system turned out to be really difficult to get to grips with and use. To be frank whenever I find the word accounting together with the word software I am always reminded of the first lesson I must share with you and that is just about all small business accounting software assumes the user possesses good working knowledge of accounting.

Just like me small enterprise owners understand their craft and what they sell and not accounting but in my situation I was driven to devote time to finding a system that would work for me. It was really worthwhile doing this as I discovered a more useful solution than I could ever of imagined called salesorder.com.

Definitely the best business technology I have come across, salesorder.com works on the internet and is really well designed and of course lets me work anywhere I can access the Internet. Better still and the third piece of guidance I want to tell you is that the people who work at salesorder.com are not just very knowledgeable of their service but they know a tremendous amount about the problems of running a small business and have taught me the accounting I need to know.
