Whether you\u2019re an entrepreneur or managing a business with a small staff, online budgeting software isn\u2019t a nicety, it\u2019s an essential. \u201cUsing budgeting software minimizes mistakes when you\u2019re collaborating with multiple people,\u201d says Amber Berry, owner of Feel Good Finances and Certified Financial Education Instructor based in Sacramento, California. According to Berry, \u201cIf you\u2019re using pen and paper, it\u2019s just way too messy.\u201d Choosing the right online budget planner can seem pretty intimidating, especially if you\u2019re just launching a business or budgeting your finances for the first time. Here are just some of the benefits of choosing Quicken Home & Business<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on Accessibility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online and cloud-based budgeting planners have one major advantage \u2014 they\u2019re easily accessible to everyone on your financial team at the same time. You\u2019ll be grateful for an online planner anytime you need to make a major financial decision or plan for tax time. \u201cIt just makes your accountant\u2019s or bookkeeper\u2019s life easier if you can collaborate digitally,\u201d says Berry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quicken Home & Business <\/a>allows you to easily share budget information with your financial team, co-owners and staff, so that everyone\u2019s on the same financial page \u2014 literally. It syncs with the Quicken Home & Business app<\/a> on your mobile device to live-update your information anywhere, and it stores manual entries even when you\u2019re not connected to a network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look to the Future<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The power of an online budget planner makes it easy to calculate projections for the health of your business. Your ability to visualize long-term financial trends shapes your business’ growth. For example, Berry notes that budget reports aid in determining if you\u2019re financially ready to hire additional staff, and help you plan for loans or credit required to grow your business. Budget planners use your budget information to create profit and revenue projections, and analyze cash flow to help you assess your short- and long-term financial health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Support for Tax Time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online business budgeting has some straightforward tax benefits, too. Quicken Home & Business<\/a> keeps track of revenue and expenses all year long, so you don\u2019t need to spend hours number-crunching come tax time. Planners that allow you to store photos of business receipts provide added convenience, according to Berry. Quicken Home & Business<\/a> includes an easy \u201csnap and save\u201d feature to store receipts, and the planner easily analyzes other deductions (like home office supplies) for use in tax preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seek Simplified Financial Planning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tracking your personal finances with an online planner is just as important as tracking small-business budgeting. A combined business and home planner is most efficient, since all information is stored within the same app and you can easily hand both accounts off to your accountant or tax advisor at tax time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An online planner like Quicken Home & Business<\/a> allows you to manage both your personal and business finances. It keeps your accounts separate to avoid errors or confusion and allows you to easily access all accounts for streamlined budgeting. After all, the most important benefit of an online budgeting app is to make financial planning easier, so you can focus on running your business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
