Warragul Computer Repair explains Basic Invoice

When you think of small business bookkeeping, you might picture a store or workshop employing a handful of staff. A typical small business often also forks out for a professional bookkeeper to use an accounting package designed for big businesses.

Confusingly lumped in with those small businesses are what we call “micro businesses.” In these cases, there is usually only one employee: the boss. Tradies, weekend retailers, and people who do handywork in their spare time are just a few examples. Their accounting needs are very different to those of their slightly larger neighbours.

Most micro businesses try to do their accounting with paper invoices and spreadsheets, handing the whole messy lot to someone else and hoping they can make sense of it. Doing invoicing and record keeping by hand can put undue stress on micro business owners and their relationships, takes valuable time, and brings increased pressure from the tax office.

But what is the alternative to complex big business accounting software?

Australian software company Basic Invoice offers an easy-to-use service specifically for micro businesses. Basic Invoice is not there to manage non-existent staff, but rather to help with quotations and invoices, and generates tax reports easily. It also manages creditors and customers, and eliminates time spent doing things twice.
