Christmas time is always the time to stop and enjoy. Stop to relax and rewind the previous year. What happened in whose life and who did what where - these are tough topics but if they are being handled with a glass of red wine and cinnamon crackers it is doable.
We are three brothers and we all have our own businesses. I am the last one to setup my own company and I did it just few months ago. My brothers have been doing their own business already for years but somehow I never got the spark of doing all things regarding accounting, business plans etc.
During Christmas we usually sit down for a longer while and think through everyone’s business and try to find good solutions to problems. This is our way of relaxing and bonding.
This year I think the whole Christmas and even the Santa Claus was focused on helping my business to stand on its own feet. My business is IT and it really needs a bit of boost and recruited power to kick in. Everything would be so easy if one could just execute solutions one after the other without any accounting or taxations.
My brothers are both using ProCountor accounting software (in Finnish:
aloushallinto ohjelma) and they say that it makes their lives easier. They even have online teaching courses where you can learn the basics of accounting and how to use the software. To use a software in doing your accounting might be very good for a start-up.
A problem with the accounting is not the accounting itself but the mystery around it and the possibility to fail. As a start-up you don’t want to risk the reputation of your own company by not doing your accounting well. I have also heard that tax raids are not so nice when they hit you especially if one’s accounting is not in order.
My brothers told me that I should also consult the sales people at ProCountor or look up for the dates of training on their website. The trainings are in various phases and you can choose a training by a subject. This might just be the best gift of this Christmas.
