7 Things to Consider Before Buying Accounting Software

April 23, 2008 By: Admin Category: Accounting Software No Comments →

The world of small business accounting software can be a minefield for any business owner. However choosing the right package is one of the most critical business decisions you will make.

Here are the seven things you must consider before making a purchase that will help you achieve your businesses goals.

1. Scalability

Businesses change over time so it’s critical that the small business fund accounting software you choose can change too. Some things that often change are the number of products and services offered and the number of employees. When you choose your package try and imaging the business in 5 years or 10 years time and how different it will be. Use this information to guide your purchase decision. It may well be better to pay a little more now for the software knowing that it can be easily upgraded when needed with minimum disruption and cost to your business.

2. Support

It is important that fundraising software has great support for when something goes wrong (and it always does). Most major companies offer support but you also need to think about support in your local area. It’s often much easier to have someone locally come in and do things you need done with your software than have someone trying to help you over the phone. Make some enquiries with other businesses about the package they use and who helps them.

3. Accountant Interface

It’s most unlikely you will handle every aspect of your businesses accounting. Your accountant is an important factor in making the right decision. What software are they used to working with and what do they prefer? Can you easily supply them data and reports from your package without the need for any extra work (which you’ll have to pay for). Don’t be afraid to ask their opinion as they live and breathe this stuff.

4. Best Value For Money

Once you have selected the right package for your business you may as well get the best value. Shop around as the price can vary greatly and the product is exactly the same. Online merchants such as Amazon may offer better pricing because of the sheer volume of products they sell. However price is only one part of the equation so if their is great merchant locally with support or installation assistance this may be far more valuable.

5. Major Brands

There are many players in the small business accounting software market. I recommend choosing a nonprofit fund accounting software so that you can get regular updates and you know the company will be around as long as your business needs them.

6. Ease of Use

Ease of use is a personal thing but it is worth trying the software before you buy it if you can. Remember to get the person who will be the main user to test the software as well. Also consider how well the package can interact with other software you use. This is an advantage the Microsoft package may have when it’s available.

7. Features Needed

I touched on this earlier when talking about thinking ahead as to where you business will be in 5 or 10 years time. Most accounting software packages come in several different versions. If you don’t need certain features now and can’t see a need for them in the future then don’t buy them. The major differences are usually - number of users allowed, inventory management capability and number of reports available.

To sum up think ahead when planning your purchase of small business accounting software. You will make a much smarter business decision that will save you plenty of trouble and money in the future.

A Guide To The Effective Fundraising Development Plan

April 22, 2008 By: Admin Category: Tips No Comments →

Although fundraising is a thrilling social activity, it can also be a strenuous task with its problems in seeking grants, and subsequently using those funds for charitable work. A well executed plan is a plan that is strong in its makeup. Thus planning to develop fundraising ideas and activities is planning to succeed; never falter on this step, as it might prove very costly in the long run.A fundraising development plan need not be very difficult, but you’ll need to make sure that it is perfect and well devised. To devise a plan, you must define what will be your goal in its short term and long term perspective. For example, if you have decided to join a local food fundraisers organization, your goal may be to feed poor people in neighborhood. Once the goal is ready, define how that goal will be achieved and accomplished. Draw a comprehensive plan and add detail to each step. Assign duties and responsibilities to each member of the team. Next also create a calendar with various deadlines for each critical step of the whole fundraising activity and execution. The next step is finding the donor and sourcing funds from them, which often takes a long time and it also tests your patience. You may also need to learn about the technical aspects of raising funds from a donor, for example by selling fundraising products. Many individuals extend their support for good causes and usually make contributions, pledges and gifts in response to mail requests, phone conversations, internet appeals, door to door requests and face to face dialogues. Many foundations, public trusts, philanthropies, aid organizations also help in raising funds and gifts.

An ineffective fundraising plan is a waste of precious money and time. Always create a plan that is flexible, so that you can make minute adjustments as and when it is necessary. Never be rigid in your outlook and be inventive in your thoughts and actions.
