The Small Business Doer

A review of Wave Accounting, online accounting software designed for small business bookkeeping.

This is both a review and a walk through. I decided to include all my notes that I wrote down as I navigated the software. I left them in so that others looking at Wave Accounting could follow along and see the errors I made, the limitations of the software, and the work arounds that I found.

A Kashoo review. Kashoo is online accounting software designed for small business bookkeeping. I’ve chosen 32 topics to write about for my online accounting software evaluation.

Financials were through the roof this month. I did a lot of subcontractor payments, but still good numbers in the end.

I’m lagging in sales in other parts of business and it seems like video is kind of taking over. I’m slowly freeing up time to work on non-video projects and every month I’m getting rid of some responsibilities that are taking time away from my business growth projects. It’s getting better though.

I’m going to do an online accounting software review and comparison to find out the best bookkeeping tools out there. However, I first have to define the problems that are trying to be solved. This is going to be an ongoing document, that I’ll continue to update as I get more information.

Ok, another great month in February. It has been surprising to me that both January and February were so strong. If you compare my sales to last year’s numbers, you’ll see there’s quite a big jump.

I feel like I say this often, but I’m taking the work while I can, since my business can be up and down, since a lot of my work is project based. At times it can be very busy, other times, very slow.

I finally finished the Quickbooks Bookkeeping System Course!

The best way to keep your financials organized is to make sure your bookkeeping is entered in a timely and consistent way. That’s where a QuickBooks bookkeeping system comes in handy.

Yowza! January was a lot bigger month than expected.

Essentially, my whole focus of the month was to finish my Quickbooks Bookkeeping System Video Course (link). I didn’t.

It’s not that I wasn’t trying. It simply takes time is about all I can say. An exceptional month of sales doesn’t help on the free time front.

I think you have to be somewhat of a biz nerd to be so excited to have your revised biz plan done. Man am I excited!

And no, it’s not only the relief of being finished writing the 7,000+ words.

I posted my business plan online in 2009 so that small business people would have a live case study of a real business in action. It’s what I wished I could have seen while I was in business school.

I’m so glad I did. I didn’t think the plan would be of that much interest for the first year or two, since there would be more talk than action. Where things get interesting is when you can see the results of the plan and compare the plan to reality. I know have some results in and can now feel comfortable telling people that if you’re starting a business and want to get a perspective of the process, you can learn something by seeing what I’ve done.

December was a quasi-frustrating month. I had big ambitions for December, I was supposed to get a lot of business growth work done. I got some done, but nothing close to what I was going for.

November was by far the best month I’ve had for both sales and net income! I’ve never done more video productions in a month before.

So yep, busy. Downside, not too much time to work on business growth, ughh!
