How to: Make #iFacturas and an Accounting Package Work Together #billing
| With iFacturas you don't have to bookkeeping, either on paper or on PC. We do it the cloud for you! |
So, if you're not particulary interested in accounting, then don't do anything. iFacturas takes care of it.
But, if you care too much about the accounting you're currently running, don't worry at all. First and foremost, iFacturas is running on a SQL based ERP program on Microsoft Azure. And we have a beta browser accounting program already running. This program is aimed to be useful for accountants, and provide the accountant with an optimized interface where the accountant can work through piles of documents only using number keypad and the Enter key.
Why? The accountant normally uses his left hand on the documents, and are blocked from using the mouse.
This program is scheduled to be released in Q2.
Why do I tell you this? Because, if you care about your accounting, then simply let us handle it, and prepare your accountant to switch to iFacturas. If he/she rejects, hire another. We will launch lists of accounts in every country we are releasing.
But you may still not be satisfied. You may be into a company where you don't decide accounting matters. Then we also will have something for you. In June we will release our public API, making it dead simple and secure to let your accounting connect with our accounting.
So, how do you survive until Q2 or June. Well, in January we will provide you with the option of automic mailing of invoices to your accountant mail address. So to avoid any protest, just pretend that you are using some invoice editor, that has to be recorded manually.
The inspiration to this post came from a post from freshbook.com running a complicated story about how to connect to accounting. Here is a part in order for you to see how difficult it can be done without iFacturas:
This is first part in a three part series on using FreshBooks and an Accounting package. You also may want to read the blogpost “Do I really need an Accounting package?” The workflows can be found in Part 2: Workflow #1 – Using General Account Entries and Part 3: Workflow #2 – Entering in Each Transaction.We all know accounting and reporting can be a headache for any business owner, especially when you’d rather run your business than spend time bookkeeping. If you’re a sole proprietor or a (very) small business owner, you can probably use FreshBooks for all your accounting needs. But if your business requires a balance sheet or more financial reporting (e.g. if you’re incorporated), you might be using or are considering a double-ledger accounting program such as QuickBooks.
