Even though I am always trying to keep my books in order, I have a really hard time doing so. I’ve even written an open source accounting package, PBooks, to help me, but its still hard to keep up.
I think a lot of small business owners attempt to do their books themselves, but end up rightly doing what they do best, running their business, instead of properly doing their books. I know that well because thats what I end up doing!
My goal is to get PBooks to the point where an average bookkeeper will be able to use it to balance books, and I’ll hire one to do our books for us using it. I guess that’s a goal for 2008!
