I was an accountant for a SaaS business with operations in the US. It was B2B, and used a plug-in (Vertex) with the ERP to calculate sales tax in each state.

It's Excel, so just write a macro?

Having to record all inbound cash as income was a deal breaker for me. I wanted to like Firefly, but couldn't because of this. There is literally no other accounting software that …

I, too, use Gnucash. Gnucash is an actual double entry bookkeeping system. Firefly is not. I want to like Firefly, but you cannot properly record all liabilities. Also, you can't m…

I'm a UK accountant, but I'm currently working as a finance software analyst. I spend quite a bit of time coding to solve problems. Normally turning a csv into another csv (Python)…

I was recently in this position. As "boring" as this is, I flashed them with Lineage and donated them to a charity that refurbishes and passes tech onto others.

I created a Flask app called holly. It was originally made to record when I'd given my kids different medicine, but has now expanded to an event scheduler, meal planner, and checkl…

High Output Management by Andrew Gove The Goal by Eli Goldratt.

Which ones? I got a PO12, PO20, and PO33. They're great!

A number of years ago, I came accross the FAST standard for financial modelling, and a company F1F9 that teach financial modelling. Somewhat related I suppose. https://www.fast-sta…

I've been working since 2010 and have resigned from seven jobs. I'm about to start my eighth job in a couple of weeks. The reason's for resigning? They vary, but it's usually becau…

I recently gave brain.fm a go. I found it really distracting. I normally listen to music contantly, but dont normally feel too distracted. I could def feel bran.fm's throbbing.

I suggest you look at the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) which you need to follow if you list in Europe. Goodwill is only on the purchasors balance sheet. You c…

I am a UK accountant. To my knowledge, under IFRS you cannot put IP on your own balance sheet. If you're bought by another company, it goes on the balance sheet as "goodwill" which…

Whilst not strictly non-fiction, I'm going with The Goal bg Eli Goldratt. It's a novel about accounting. Specifically, Goldratt's Theory of Constraints. It presents the idea that m…

I've been using Gnucash since 2016. I import bank statements into it and produce financial statements. I've also tried Firefly and Hledger. I think that Gnucash offers the right mi…

No, I do not know how it works. I suppose it is important? Or anymore important to know than other stuff? Not want wanting to brag or anything, but there is SO MUCH stuff that I ha…

From "running a business" point of view, get Shopify integrated with your accounting software. Xero is a good start. It will give an actual idea of what your business is doing.

Always blame the French.

I only got my FP4 last year, but def going to upgrade to this straight away.

I agree. I suppose the rationale is probably that Andy thinks on balance it's the people that aren't doing anything that will go. Then again, I'm not CEO of Amazon, so noy my shout…

Trouble is that with layoffs you can get rid of bad staff. How do you stop good staff quitting?

I don't believe that anyone is so critical to the company mission you have to put up with it.
