Every business has to start somewhere.

What’s interesting is that with all of the doom and gloom news of layoffs by large conglomerates, there actually is a silver lining in this dark cloud. And that’s the creation of many small businesses. While skilled individuals are getting beaten down and told that they’re not part of some corporate family anymore, they have to drag themselves out of that depression. If not just to put food on the table for their own families.

It’s more risk, but also a necessary economic move. People cannot just depend on the government nor can they just disappear because they have no jobs. So with that comes the creation of consultancies and other small businesses. And by law in the United States, every business must account for their financials. Be it through small business accounting or other means.

So if your life has been affected by a layoff, it’s okay to stop and fuss over it for a little while. But pick yourself up and look around. Perhaps it’s time for you to seek out owning your own business.

Most SMBs are usually just looking to get off the ground.

Incorporated? Check.
Bank account? Check.
Customers? Check.

But as you get started, and even as you move forward, you’ll want to cut a few of the corners to help make your dream of owning a business come true. And that’s where optimizing your workflow can become crucial. Anywhere that you don’t have to spend much time in learning the ins and outs of the tools but can use right out of the gate can help increase your efficiency. And increased efficiency means that you’ll be able to do more work, and hopefully bring in more cash.

In that sense, you have to pick the right tools. And with small business accounting, you can’t afford to go wrong. Don’t forget that you’re the one that’s running the business and you don’t have the luxury of sitting down in a class trying to figure out how to make your software work for you. As professionals, that’s what we’re here to do and to help with while you’re running your business. The goals are to maximize your time so you can concentrate on what you care about most: how to make your business more profitable.

And we’re here to help push that dream forward.

The new and improved? Most definitely.

In fact, there’s so much to talk about, that it would just be easier for you to run over to Merchant’s Mirror and take a looksie. If you have questions, feel free! That’s what we’re here for. We’re extremely happy with the progress that we’ve made and we believe whole-heartedly that you will too.

We’ve been tweaking a little here and making some adjustments there, but everything is finally in ship-shape order now.¬† What is our game plan now? Let us know what you love, what you hate, what you’d change and what you’d like to stay the same. So far, we’ve had excellent feedback from our beta team and we’re looking to craft this product not only for our clients, but with our clients!

Small businesses operate in a different form and fashion than larger corporations do and we’re letting you know that we’re on board with that concept. In that regard, we’re working on making it as easy as possible to manage your accounting with a full fledged suite. And don’t think that this is just it. We still have many features and developments in the works!

We wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year!

I’m sure that most of you are wondering where exactly we stand as far as the development cycle goes. Hopefully this graphic will help out. I will get the team to post an update each time the needle moves.
