Signs that your business is Outgrowing QuickBooks

Manual procedures

Are you manually entering data into QuickBooks after collecting it from other systems? or exporting data from QuickBooks to Excel or another program for analysis? Some of this is acceptable, as your business expands and you have more contracts and spreadsheets, you’ll start to make mistakes.

Different systems

Are you managing the business with many systems? Ideally, accounting, inventories, and assets, all come under a single ERP system. Specialty software frequently handles CRM and HR, but if you’re not handling all financials in one location, you’re probably wasting time and maybe making mistakes and problems.

Few user licenses

Every employee will likely receive a license from a standard ERP solution. Following that, the business determines the level of access that entails, granting project managers, HR, and management access to reporting, planning, and budgeting systems – allowing for collaboration and overall synch.
