When I was doing research for my book, Small Business Cash Flow, I asked small business owners how they were keeping track of the financials in their companies. The answer was pretty surprising — about 50% didn’t use software of any kind. They either did it manually (yes, pen and paper!) or used some type of spreadsheet.
I truly don’t understand why someone would do that when they could use software like QuickBooks to make their life easier and save them time to do important things like marketing their business.
I love QuickBooks and have used it for ten years. I was thrilled when the folks at Intuit contacted me and asked if I’d like a briefing on the new Quickbooks 2011
At least once a week I get the question, “Do you think selling [insert product or service name here] is a good small business idea?” My answer? It doesn’t really matter what I think.
