This typically resonates with CPA's, Corporate Accountants, Bookkeepers, Small Business Owners, Real Estate Investors, Financial Educators and/or other Financially confident individuals.

Our free, open source bookkeeping module stands to dramatically reduce cost and time spent bookkeeping while raising global accounting and technology literacy with cloud based spreadsheets as offered by Google. 

What may be GREAT NEWS for many in this group, may in fact be very discomforting and even commercially terrifying for others. We realize that. We respect that. We will not sugar coat that. This is a case of merrily join in on the race or get run over, flat on your face.

The Good News for those it resonates with!

For those who have always wished for a simple but powerful alternative for Quickbooks, with customization capabilities, better trouble shooting for Balance Sheet imbalances and faster reconciliation options, we have  treat for you with our free Bookkeeping Module that is cloud based too! 

• And that module is one of many we expect to roll out.
• We have Sales Systems and Advanced Accounting modules that ooze function with Best Practices built in too.
• Our first Sales System to roll out will likely be a Contractor Billing System
• Others we have in prototype mode include Retail Point of Sale, basic Invoicing, Metered Billing, Legal Billing, Medical Bill tracking and Invoicing, Work Comp billing, and more. 

The lead developer of these systems has been working with web based database systems and accounting systems since 1995.

• You are not getting a watered down cloud alternative.
• He has switched all his own bookkeeping from his own web based database driven bookkeeping system he first developed in 2002, and he has no intentions of ever going back to it.
• It's a lot "sexier" than these offerings, but it pales in comparison when looked at functionally and holistically. 

Truth be told, Spreadsheets, not Relational Databases, are the right tool for bookkeeping and basic accounting, and they always have been. 

• Until now, they were very limited due to the nature of desktop only spreadsheets and a lack of full use of the database capabilities of a spreadsheet by most.
•  It's the advent of cloud based spreadsheets combined with database style programming that has always been available to a greater or lessor degree in spreadsheets that makes this all so very fascinating and revolutionary actually. ​

CPA's, Bookkeepers, Auditors and the Bookkeeping Module

We recognize most DIYers and many professionals with lower ethics don't keep good books with regards to Balance Sheet imbalances and inventory adjustments.  We know that many who use Balance Sheets create dump accounts for adjusting entries to obtain reconciled balances in Quickbooks because chasing errors there can be a costly nightmare if not an impossibility for  impostors posing as accounting pros. 

Our Balance Sheet, once configured with a proper balance the first time,  updates in real time and allows for very easy date stepping to find errors. This makes the dump accounts a thing of the past. 

We also have added data integrity tools which help with Income Statement and Balance Sheet integrity and trouble shooting. This is truly quite unique

We expect both professionals and advanced DIYers who didn't keep proper books to be able to do so now with our Bookkeeping module and that is an interesting game changer in and of itself. ​

We expect those who have been doing things fine in Quickbooks to experience far faster, more transparent bookkeeping. We offer a system for manual download and import of transactions only. And we only offer that because it's in fact the fastest, easiest, most secure system for bookkeeping. You can manually enter transactions if you'd like. We may have a suggestion for a third party tool for downloading if you are interested, but it would still require a cut and paste. It might cut off 30-60 seconds from a simple process if you wanted to explore it. If you feel auto connectors to your banks are better than a manual download, you've never had to recover from a digital hiccup before. Question us after you do and there will be no questions to be asked or answered. 

Small Business Owners, Real Estate Investors, Financial Educators  and the Bookkeeping Module

This is about greater simplicity, time savings, cost savings and and full transparency. Greater customization and simplification of all aspects of your Bookkeeping process. 

The other news about INTUIT just because it needs to be mentioned...

We fully realize that many of you are very married to Intuit.  Some of you have spent dozens or even hundreds of hours over decades to get over the Intuit Learning Curves. Most have spent 1000's keeping up with them, if you've been with them too long now. Many of you will not be able to imagine a situation in which you could be offered a comparable or better solution for most basic and advanced needs with no ongoing costs, greater transparency and customization in 1 to 2 hours of guidance from someone more experienced. 

We also realize some of you have profited grandly form the complexity and confusion of Intuit's product offerings. Their market place monopoly has made many a man very wealthy with very healthy margins for many of you. We are currently seeing very aggressive consultants, CPA's, personal coaches and bookkeepers who seem to feel that $250-350/hour is a good wage for educating others on the basics of accounting in Quickbooks. And we find that be way out of line. Ultimately we  expect this product and these educational tools to put  downward pressure on a lot of bookkeeping and accounting related coaching and services. It's just a by-product of education and evolution and it's now heading this way. 

There are a lot of younger folks with college degrees in accounting and technology who are under-employed with massive carnivorous debts in a more expensive economy that none of us had to cope with.  We expect some of them to see this as their opportunity to enter into entrepreneurship with lower pricing than current purveyors and we will be encouraging and supporting their efforts as well as all who are interested in learning about these new offerings.  
 
We hope that you all will embrace these tools. We hope that you will see areas in which some of you can expand your services with google platform related accounting modules. We hope many of you might see an easier path towards part time CFO positions in small companies who need more than just an expensive bookkeeper or accountant.

We're creating the new playing field. We hope you can appreciate it and join in.
