User Interface & Complexity
Most business people do not aware of the accounting process. So they hire an accountant or purchase accounting software for their business. To know the accounting process, you need training. While purchasing the accounting software you have to ensure whether the software has a simple user interface that helps you to focus on important tasks. So you do need to spend more time on learning.
Scalability
Most business owners purchase accounting software based on their current business needs. They didn’t think about future needs. When your business grows to the next level, your software should scale with your business needs. If the software doesn’t have the scalability feature, then you have to migrate the business data from existing software to new software which is a difficult task. So you have to purchase the accounting software with scalability features.
Exit options
Data export facility should be available in the accounting software. Through this feature, you can export the ledger and other transactions in the form of excel. So you can get back up at regular intervals.
