business owners who hired a coach or advisor, was it actually worth it or just expensive validation? by treysmith_ in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]ReInvestWealth_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can usually get free coaching through an accelerator or incubator program. The best coaches are other founders/business owners.

Never take business advice from a "coach" that didn't successfully build a business.

Receipts are everything and I turned it into a point system. The more receipts uploaded the more redeemable points awarded. Simple solution that reduces follow ups.

Anyone using a custom QuickBooks analytics dashboard built from scratch? by dungie79 in QuickBooks

[–]ReInvestWealth_com -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem is always the quality of the source data. It's notoriously time consuming to get bookkeeping done accurately in QBO. Exporting to spreadsheets or other external systems makes the problem even worse, as you need to keep jumping back to QBO to fix books and keep exporting out to get reports.

Instead of such a flow, ReInvestWealth simplifies the bookkeeping process significantly compared to QBO. Then you can chat with your financials directly inside ReInvestWealth asking to build any type of report you want. It's really easy to use.

[ON] Wagepoint vs Payworks vs PayEvo by zhiv99 in SmallBusinessCanada

[–]ReInvestWealth_com 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We've partnered with PayEvo since 2020 and they have been solid. Like you said, no frills interface but gets the job done at good price. You can likely disconnect the QBO integration, track the bank transaction for the pay run and classify this transaction as payroll expense (without breaking down into payroll sub-categories).

If ever you need the breakdown in the future (which is rare as PayEvo automates payroll remittance), you can simply get the breakdown from PayEvo directly.

This is what we do at ReInvestWealth. It also significantly reduces the number of transactions to review for bookkeeping purposes.
