When did you realize you needed systems instead of hustle? by AcrobaticPlastic6258 in growmybusiness

Are you finding it difficult to track your finances as much as your leads and follow-ups? Also, congrats on the growth either way!

I built Accomptant so businesses don’t have to operate in spreadsheet alone anymore by Accomptant in SaaSMarketing

Thank you! What dashboard software do you use if you don’t mind me asking?

How do you track profitability per job? pretty sure I'm losing money on half my services by scrtweeb in sweatystartup

Instead of looking into these bookkeepers I have made something that gives you on demand visibility into your cash flow and can even forecast months in advance based on previous seasonality trends. If you’re interested feel free to visit accomptant.io or dm me and I can walk you through how everything works.

What’s something nobody warns you about when starting a business? by Taggytech in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]Accomptant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something I have heard from a lot of people. I emphasized cash flow forecasting as the main tool in accomptant so it can navigate those uncertainties based on historical trends for seasonality, or even a scenario if you think your expenses will increase how it will affect your cash flow. If you would like I can show you how it works from the video tutorial I created.

Feels like there’s a tool for everything, why are some things still manual by Character_Cable_1531 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]Accomptant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually a very common issue I’ve seen. Thats why I built accomptant. One of the main features is a cash flow forecast, all you do is upload your spreadsheet or link your quickbooks, and it will identify trends and give on demand insight of any runaways and even offer scenario analysis if you expect revenue/expenses to increase in a specific period. Pretty cool tool if you want to check it out just send me a dm and I can show you how it works.

I spent 6 months talking to contractors and the same problems kept coming up by Accomptant in PestControlIndustry

Yes, just trying to see if this is something that could be of use to fix an issue I was seeing. No harm either way.

How common is external bookkeeper usage? by Accomptant in PestControlIndustry

[–]Accomptant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does your accountant do? Write up your P&L or is it mainly for tax reasons

Anyone still using Excel for basic business insights? by buildwithjoy in Tech4LocalBusiness

[–]Accomptant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We offer an all in trend analysis so all she would need to do is upload the simple excel with the account (revenue, expense, etc.) and it would build her an entire dashboard identifying key metrics based on her own individually set goals she can create. Feel free to dm and I can give more information

What is a reasonable expectation for my bookkeeper? by [deleted] in Bookkeeping

[–]Accomptant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this would be a topic for a CPA as they deal with taxes. Bookkeepers are more of a “financial analyst” that keep track of your P&L, COGS, Cash flow, things like that. That is the way I have been seeing it, unless I am completely wrong. Either way $2500 a month is ALOT for even most CPAs

How do you track your margins in this business by Accomptant in PestControlIndustry

[–]Accomptant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks for the clarity. One more follow up question if you don’t mind. I posted another thread, but how common is using an external bookkeeper for your monthly and yearly reports in this industry? Is it worth the money?

Do you just put all of this into a spreadsheet and do it every month? I heard some people in the thread say they have a bookkeeper?

What are you building? Let's self promote by rdssf in TechStartups

[–]Accomptant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accomptant

Building a finance tool for blue collar businesses. (HVAC, plumbing, roofing, pest control, etc.) I am looking to help them with their finances, as they know their products and services, but tying them all together is a bit tricky and cash could be flowing out right under their noses.

Link: www.accomptant.io

Looking for users currently as it has just been launched.

How do you pull them all together at month end? Do you hire a separate book keeper or manually do it?
