Did you know that over
90% of small businesses use QuickBooks? That’s a pretty amazing figure. What’s even more amazing, however, is that a couple of years ago it was estimated that
75% of small businesses use no accounting software at all! Instead, all those small businesses are trying to do things the old fashioned way: on paper.
We sometimes wonder why that could be, and we’ve come up with a few ideas. The most likely is that people are afraid of accounting software. After all, they probably started their restaurant or auto body shop or marketing company because they were good at cooking meals, fixing things or selling stuff, not because they were good with finances. We all want to focus on what we know, and what we do best, right? So these entrepreneurs get their businesses started by focusing on their product or service, not on the accounting that’s needed to keep those businesses in the black.
At some point, however, every small business has to face the need for a financial program—hopefully long before they are faced with something as scary as a call from the IRS! Whether it’s the need to file tax forms so that there is no call from the IRS, or they’ve hired their first employee and have to learn how to handle payroll, the day comes when 90% of small business owners buy their own copy of QuickBooks.
Unfortunately, owning the program and being able to use it well are very different things. This is where professional
