Whether you are just starting out or you are looking for better ways to manage your existing micro business, one of the key factors to making it a success is to manage your business financials and track your business health.

Accounting is a fact of life for any micro/small business, whether you’re a contractor that bills to one customer on a weekly basis, or you’re in retail and need to keep track of the profitability of different products or the conversion rate of your online store. Each micro business is different and yet they have the same financial needs. There are various ways and means to keeping your financials in order such as; 1) Pen and paper; The dollar cost is very low but at the same time it is complex and time consuming. Wouldn’t time be better spent working ON your small business? 2) The Shoe Box; All documents, invoices, receipts are collected and then sent off to your accountant. This is probably one of the most expensive ways to do your accounting and it fails to give you any insight to your business. 3) Desktop accounting software; Such as the well known MYOB or QuickBooks. They usually require some kind of training to begin using them or at least a basic understanding of accounting concepts. 4) Online accounting software; Such as Saasu, Xero and many others are available today. The usually have higher ongoing costs and that they lack a lot of the functionality that is available in other desktop solutions. 5) Outsourced bookkeeper; Similar to the shoebox option - it makes it simpler for you but costs more and provides you with less insight into the workings of your own business. 6) In-house bookkeeper; The cost of a full-time or part-time employee comes with the highest costs and is probably an over kill for most small businesses.
