If you’re in any small business groups on Facebook or LinkedIn, you’ve probably seen this question or if you’re running a business, you may have asked this question yourself.
“What accounting software should I use?”
The question is easy enough but it’s complicated at the same time as it requires a little more information before a thoughtful recommendation can be offered…
Before pointing any client (or group participant) in any direction, I ask a few questions...the answers help me figure out what software might be the best fit for that person and their business. Both now and in the foreseeable future.
