Our
next event will be today at Indigo Blue on 9th November. The topic will be 'Having
established demand and support for our product what else should we do to ensure
commercial viability?" We hope to see you there!
1. QuickBooks. Ask the internet about
finance and accounting tools, and QuickBooks comes up again and again as a top
pick for small business owners. Their accounting software provides a
comprehensive view of your company’s financial situation and helps you to run
your business. You can use QuickBooks to track your business’s sales and
expenses, view financial statements, pay employees and vendors, and more. It
can connect to thousands of accounts, including PayPal and your business bank
account. Plans range in cost from $10 to $24 for the first six months and $13
to $40 per month thereafter, plus a 30-day free trial.
2. GnuCash. This straightforward, simple
approach to bookkeeping is ideal for small businesses. It was initially conceived
as an open source alternative to apps such as Intuit’s Quicken. It’s available
for a range of operating systems, including Linux, Android, Windows and OS X.
GnuCash is noted for its flexibility and can handle invoicing and credit notes,
accounts payable and receivable, and some payroll features. And best of all, it’s
free!

3. NCH
Express Invoice. If you have fewer than five employees, you can
use NCH Express Invoice for free without time limits or other restrictions.
With versions available for PC, Mac, iPad and Android, it is designed to easily
create invoices, quotes and orders, to automate recurring ones and to send them
via email or fax. It can produce a decent range of reports and there is a
front-end paid service if the free software doesn’t have the range of services
you’re looking for.
4. AdminSoft Accounts. This is a genuine
piece of freeware – rare in this day and age – without adverts, bundled
software or ulterior motives. More than 300,000 people use the software which
provides a complete money management toolkit for small business owners. It can
handle invoices, statements, remittance advices, stock control, purchase orders
and budgeting, as well as some HR functions. Its default is pounds sterling but
it can handle a range of other currencies as well.
5. Wave. With more than two million
users to date, Wave was specifically created for use by small business, indie
contractors and sole proprietors with less than ten employees. The free and
easy to use accounting software platform lets businesses track sales, pay
customers and employees, manage invoices and much more. They also recently
added free personal finance software to allow owners of small businesses to
manage all their finances in one place. The software is available as a download
on the website. Its invoice and receipt-tracking apps can be downloaded from
the Apple store.
