Simpler Accounting and Billing
"Less is more" should apply to cliches. But this overused saying is appropriate for software. What explains the success of mobile apps these days? They're a throwback to the simple yet functional applications of the early PC era. Developers of PC applications should take heed — not only when developing software, but Web applications (SaaS) too. For example, early accounting and billing SaaS products were often just as complex as their desktop counterparts. But some developers have heard the call.
Less Accounting … in One Sentence
Less Everything's Less Accounting is an online accounting system.
The Killer Feature
Many law firms dislike their accounting systems. But accounting systems have superglue-like lock-in — it's difficult to transfer your data to other accounting systems. Unless you use QuickBooks.
The downside of being king of the hill is that everyone has a target on your back. Less Accounting claims that it can import your QuickBooks data in two minutes. It also integrates with several popular online applications such as HighRise and PayPal.
Other Notable Features
Less Accounting's personalized Dashboard lists bank balances, unpaid bills, pending proposals, and how your firm spends its money. You can import bank statements every month. You can also adjust a number of business settings, including bill templates, bank accounts, users and privileges, and more.
Less Accounting tracks expenses using standard IRS categories, which you can modify. You can create and send bills within the body of an HTML email message or as a PDF attachment. Like every application nowadays it seems, Less Accounting has an accompanying iPhone app, primarily for viewing information and entering expenses.
What Else Should You Know?
Less Accounting offers four plans ranging in price from $12/month to $300/month. The plans differ not by number of users, but by feature set. Learn more about Less Accounting.
