If you are a small business or an entrepreneur then you understand (or will soon understand) the importance of keeping your finances spot on. There are programs you can purchase like Quickbooks, but if you are on a tight budget then you MUST try Wave Accounting.

Its a free accounting and invoicing program that I personally feel is great for any small business or personal financing. You can keep track of paid and pending invoices that you have. You can keep track of your income vs your expenses via a very nice line and pie graph. The interface is very user friendly and you should have a hang of things in a few short minutes.

One great feature that you can use with Wave is connecting it to your bank account. It will then import your transactions and log them for you. With the invoices you can either create and email or save them as pdf to print.

Finally it is web based so you can view your stats (securely encrypted) from any computer or mobile device with an internet connection. I have had great success with this free program and I hope that you will do the same.

Upon initial setup you create your business and add all your employees, including contact info and job title/description. You can assign certain employees to certain projects, you can also give your clients access to basecamp and give them certain permissions (view only).

In a project you can add messages, time lines, and to-do’s and it will automatically email all the employees that you assigned to that project. When they reply, you will get an email telling you what they said. Oh and did I mention that everything it time stamped, great for quality control.

You can attach all kinds of documents to each project including pdf’s, excel spreadsheet, word documents, images, and much more.

Depending on the plan that you get, you can have an unlimited amount of projects and up to 75gb’s of storage.

In my eyes the best part about basecamp (if your using it for clients) is that you can white label the program to appear like your internal system. Im sure you can see the benefits here.
