The fact that you even clicked this is HUGE. You’re doing it! You’re making some big money moves and getting more financially legit in your business. Go you! 

Now, let’s get down to what you really want to know. Why does everyone keep telling you to get Quickbooks?!!

You’ve probably invested in a couple things for your business already. Was it a Canva subscription? A domain? A web designer? Product? Those are all awesome and probably helped you gain that moolah. But now it’s time to start looking at managing the money you’re making, and you want to do it right. And if that’s the case then we absolutely 100% without-a-doubt recommend that you look into an accounting software. Our favorite, and what we personally use, is Quickbooks Online. 

What an accounting software can do that a spreadsheet can’t:

Save time. 

You don’t even have to say it, we already know you’re strapped for time. It’s the one thing that entrepreneurs (and especially solopreneurs) can’t ever find enough of. And the hours you’re spending doing a computer’s job (typing in numbers, and dates, and accounts and categorizing it all) is keeping you from doing your job (making money). So enough of that. 

Here’s what your software is going to do for you while you make money or relax (don’t forget to do that too): Arrange estimates and invoices in seconds, quickly log expenses and payments, and automate repetitive tasks. 

Increase professionalism. 

Did you know that you can upload your branding to Quickbooks and it will generate reports and forms with your letterhead? We’re talking custom invoices with the click of a button. Aaaand you can add your terms and conditions to invoice templates. If you have long-term or recurring customers, you can automate those invoices too. No need to set those alerts on your phone anymore! 

Reduce human error. 

Here’s the deal, we’re human. We’re going to make mistakes. It’s just a matter of fact. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Let your system keep accurate records of income and expenses for you by automating tasks that leave room for human error. 

Track finances (better). 

Yeah your spreadsheet can track finances. But can it help you view your business’s financial health at any time, gather financial information accurately in seconds, or generate in-depth reports without an accountant?? Plus, if you ever need to take out a loan or gather documents, you have them all in one secure, professional place.

Sleep better at night. 

So this might just be the most important benefit: confidence. Knowing your finances are organized and that there’s no outstanding data entry tasks. You can be sure that you’re getting all the information you need, in the time you need it, and in the place you need it. And to quote the very outdated credit card commercial…that’s priceless. 

So hopefully we’ve talked you into the idea of a software but we understand that you might be feeling a bit daunted by the thought of learning QuickBooks Online? We totally get it—navigating new software can be overwhelming. That’s why our QuickBooks Online for Entrepreneurs course is designed with you in mind!
