The accounting software you use in your business is a good indicator of how seriously you take your business. Old school spreadsheets are limited in what they can do. Modern accounting software can provide additional features and modules, the most useful of which are accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and trial balance. Depending on which company you work for, you might use a brand name customizable third-party system, or a software package that has had local modifications implemented, or you may even work with an in-house software program developed by the company’s own programming team.

Here’s the most unsettling factoid about accountancy—it’s not just a concern of tax workers and auditors. It’s an issue that affects everyone. If one keeps ledgers and a bookkeeping system then he/she has accounts to maintain.

Accounting mistakes are not only common among company owners and bookkeepers, but even CPAs. The U.S. Small Business Administration states that half of all new businesses fail within the first five years. The primary... Read more...

Resort management is a career that requires solid textbook skills as well as an entrepreneurial mind. It is a job that is as unpredictable as the clients themselves. They come to resorts to escape the banalities of life and have high expectations, which you must aspire to meet. The industry is not solely a profitable one.
