Choosing the Right Bookkeeping Program
Summary:
Our organization recently decided to update its bookkeeping software. While this change promises to enhance efficiency in the long run, it has created some immediate challenges for me as the office manager.Article:
Our company is in the process of updating its bookkeeping software. This change is anticipated to boost efficiency over time, but for now, it's a challenging shift for me, the office manager.
Over the years, we've experimented with various programs, eventually settling on QuickBooks. Although I didn't have strong feelings about it initially, I've become accustomed to it. The decision to switch programs feels misguided to me.
The existing system had no significant issues, but setting up a new one has brought unforeseen challenges. All previous records must be transferred to the new software, a task assigned to a computer expert?"who happens to be the boss's son.
The process involved creating a macro to convert files from the old system to the new one, but the project did not succeed. Furthermore, there’s a compatibility issue between QuickBooks and the new program, designed by Linux enthusiasts. Although it's stable and well-coded, the interface is not user-friendly.
I bore the main burden, needing to learn this text-based interface to input old data. While the new program is faster and more stable, mastering it is tedious and time-consuming compared to simply clicking icons in more intuitive systems.
Even though I've now adjusted, I still prefer software with a clickable interface rather than relying on keyboard shortcuts. This new program feels uninviting, especially since I use it all day; a more pleasant interface would be appreciated.
Unfortunately, as long as the program is free, fast, and uses less storage space, other considerations seem to be overlooked.
