Good Question! Whether you are a start-up company or a multimillion-dollar company, accounting plays a vital role in running the business. Every system tracks income and expenditures, ensures legal compliance, and provides investors, management, and government with quantitative financial information to make business decisions. There are plenty of accounting systems out there, but none of them are better than the others. What is important is what is best for your company; the hidden key that accounting system companies do not want you to know is that you do not need to spend a large amount of money on a specific accounting system.
