An new easy online accounting software to manage your business / My Abakus (Alternative to Quickbooks, Xero, Wave, Kashoo, etc.)

What are the advantages of using myAbakus in particular?

The single most important aspect of myAbakus is that it was not design to make easier the job of your accountant or to help with tax forms preparation. It can certainly do that, but what’s really important is that it was design to help you-the owner or manager-run and control your small business and keep it on the right track through the sound decision making process that usually comes from factual, reliable information - and proper judgement.

myAbakus is above all a tool to help you advance your business. It is based on the belief that to do so it is necessary to measure financial performance and keep track of it over time. And also on the view that this process should not reserved for medium or large businesses, but something within reach of every small business, including the single-person one. It all sounds good in theory, but we recognize that to help you get there we need to overcome some hurdles.

For starters, unless you feed the app your data, myAbakus will never become the decision making tool it’s supposed to be. And there is no way you will do that just to get some fancy financial reports. You are probably too busy for that, so myAbakus has to be able support your day to day operations-invoicing, stock control, and cash management-or you won’t even bother trying. But having all that is-in our eyes-not sufficient or good enough. It has to be simple and simpler.

After all, if making a financial or accounting software good were only a matter of adding functionality, not that many small business would be without one right now. We suspect that is the case because existing software, with its excessive number of features, complexity, and technical jargon, is part of the problem - what keep potential users at bay and reluctant to jump in. So by embracing simplicity and trying to make myAbakus a software tool that focus only on what is essential for running a small business, we want to be part of the solution.

The software world is full of apps that look and feel like a torture chamber: painful to look at, painful to learn and painful to use. Most accounting software belongs firmly in that category and uses the traditional pricing model of charging for licenses, upgrades, training, support and anything they can think of. Fortunately, myAbakus belongs to a new breed of web apps that focus on simplicity, solving a single problem well, and charging for software as a service or in many cases not charging at all.

We aim to make myAbakus the most simple, agile and cost effective tool you could find to help your run and control your business. We believe that the accounting knowledge required to operate our software should be none. And that user manuals or formal training have no place in our app. Sensible support materials, common sense, the knowledge you already have about your business, and a minimal effort to get you started, should be all it takes to get you going and make the most of it.
