Accounting and invoicing for growing companies

Why move from spreadsheets

Spreadsheets work until invoices go missing or tax time arrives. Accounting software keeps invoices, payments and expenses linked, so you can see what is owed and what you have spent.

Features that matter

Look for professional invoices, payment reminders, expense tracking, bank statement import and reports such as profit and loss. Tax features depend on your country, so confirm local support first.

Making the switch

Pick a clean start date, enter opening balances, then record new transactions in the software only. Ask your accountant to review the first month.

Questions to ask before you choose

• Does it support your country’s tax and currency rules?
• Can your accountant be invited to view the books?
• Can customers pay invoices online?
• Can you export your data if you leave?
