Chances are you began your business using entry-level accounting software such as QuickBooks. Today, as your operations expand, the capabilities of your business and accounting software must keep pace with your growth and changing needs. Your internal and external stakeholders require more financial information, sophisticated reporting and business intelligence capabilities.
Have You Outgrown QuickBooks?
How do you know you've outgrown your accounting software and it's time for your business to implement an entry-level accounting software upgrade? Here are the warning signs:
- Higher transaction volumes strain your system's database and slow down its performance
- Increased feature and performance shortcomings
- More people need to access your system at the same time
- Current system does not support increased complexity in daily operations
- Current solution does not provide the built-in functionality you require
- Current system does not have the sophisticated reporting and decision-making tools you need
- Accounting system cannot handle the workload, user counts, and security requirements of your growing business
If you recognize these kinds of limitations, it's a sure sign you're outgrowing entry-level accounting software and it's time to compare accounting software packages. Your growing business needs enhanced reporting, improved performance, and better integration with your other software. Accounting and ERP software that adapts with you is crucial for your growth and success, or you spend too much time straining to place complex transactions into an inadequate system.
