Bookkeeping and Technology: Part 2: My Setup

This is the second post in my series about bookkeeping and technology. Last time I wrote about the early days of moving my business online. Today I’d like to talk about the tech I use and how it has changed the way I run my business. For the sake of brevity we’ll stick to what I use for client bookkeeping.

My basic criteria:

If my client is going to be using it, I want the interface clean and simple. There should be as little industry jargon as possible.

Is this a slight on my clients? Of course not.

My job as a bookkeeper isn’t just to record business data and generate reports. My job is to make that part of an owner’s business as simple as possible. I want my client to worry as little as possible about entering data so they can get back to doing what they do best.

Evernote: Should I Stay or Should I Go?

I’m thinking about ditching Evernote.
