Top 10 Signs You Need A New Accounting Software Package

Many small to midsized businesses experience pains as they continue to grow, while their accounting software does not. Many of you facing this situation will be experiencing a lot of frustrations and limitations as you try to complete your daily tasks. If you can empathize with any of these feelings and situations, it may finally be time to make a change to your current business software systems...

1. You have more disparate 'islands of information' inside your business than you would have time to visit on a Caribbean cruise.

2. Predicting financial outcomes for your investors and shareholders is more accurate when you use a Magic 8 ball than the answers you get from your accounting system.

3. It takes more time to close the month than you took for your last vacation.

4. The database and transaction processes are really only understood by a few 'inside experts' and held as tightly as the CocaCola secret recipe.

5. The only way to get a report or sales order to print correctly from your system is to take a screenshot.

6. You feel like you are on a roller coaster ride at Disneyland every time you launch your current software, unsure of what surprises will await.

7. When you ask for the user manual, one of your employees gives you a file folder that they have scribbled notes on the back of.

8. You have a bruise on your forehead from opening the wrong spreadsheet for the 10th time today.

9. You have mandated employee breaks to help the system from getting overloaded from too many concurrent users.

10. You KNOW your current software has cost you more in lost employee productivity, delayed orders, and custom workarounds than a new system would cost, but you can't get that data from your existing accounting software!
