Business and Accounting

Some time ago I read a testimonial: "Only within 3 months, my business revenue increased 63% and profit rose 200%. " I can guess that he was sure the company is using accounting system.
With accounting, a company can quickly find out business conditions. Until this day, I still wonder so many business in Indonesia, even the omsetnya billions of rupiah, still not the accounting. Analoginya such as those who never do medical check-up and suddenly exposed to stroke. Without knowing the condition of the company, it is difficult to avoid in stroke your company. As our bodies, also have some business important indicators. Some of the important indicators of your business, such Other: Cash flow, stock / inventory, costs and profit.
Cash flow closely related with the debt and receivables. Ideally, we collect receivables earlier an have more debt to pay, so there cumulation money in our company. But the fact is, we usually have to pay vendor receivables and early-pay is not paid by the customer. This condition often referred to as the Cash-Gap. Many companies that I encountered bankrupt not because there is no business, but because of its cashflow jammed. Problems such as stock simalakama fruit. Buy too many will disrupt cashflow. Buy too little to make us lose business. Ideally You know the exact movements of each stock you. If there is a stock die, you can sell it with a discount or do cross-sell.
For this case, the better we get but a little loss cashflow.
The cost is most often forgotten by the business not using the accounting system. Do you still count the profits only from the basic sales price only. Example: Buy Rp.1.000, jual Rp.1.500, already hit Rp.500 means. My questions are: Are you already calculating the costs, such as: postage, freight loading load, the cost of electricity, and salaries of your own? If all costs account, you'll know whether your business is already really hit or not. Accounting system that computerise It must be admitted, one of the causes of the reluctance to use accounting at the company is accounting for the complex and making. Fortunately at this time have been widely available computer programs (software) that can facilitate the accounting treatment, even for those who does not understand accounting. Benefits of using accounting software is efficient and out human error. Transaction data that is already filled in a flash can seen the results. So, for the problems in your business up (cashflow, stock and cost), you can be watched at any time. It's lik you have machine gauge tension blood in the house. No need to see a doctor, you can know the condition of your blood pressure at any time.
With the information in your hands, of course you can take the decision is more appropriate for your business. Tips for selecting accounting software There are many accounting software in the market with a price range of several hundred thousand rupiah, up to tens and even hundreds of millions of rupiah. For businessman who had never purchased the software, this is certainly very
frightening. How do you know where to purchase? Here are some tips to be considered before choosing an accounting software:
1. Buy software package (so is), not a new one will be made. Creating software takes a very long, expensive and risky high.
2. Check who create software. Make a survey to office if necessary? Do not until you use the software not developed more.
3. Find a software solution that can give up your business problems. Generally, software packages can not be 100% fit with your business. Role implementor (the person who helps the software) will be very important in here. Software without a good supported by the implementor is jago useless. Remember, you buy the solution, not to buy software.
4. Make sure they provide after-sales service is guaranteed. Try first telephone hot line to support them. Feel whether they serve your question correctly? Do not forget to also ask whether they will software when you visit them have errors.
5. Do not be deceived with the price. The principle is: There is no price quality. Find out what you'll get. Think about the long term because search software similar to the search for partners. So tips from me, hopefully I can add any posts little insight Indonesia for the businessman.
