Why You Should Stop Using Excel for Your Invoicing? <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invoicing is a crucial task for all businesses. Whether it’s a product or service, whenever there’s a purchase or sale, invoices must be issued to facilitate accounting and remain compliant with the law and professional with your clients. Although it appeals to many entrepreneurs, a spreadsheet like Excel requires rigor and organization to avoid certain errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the most common and troublesome risks you may encounter when using it for your invoicing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-compliance with the Law<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An invoice is a supporting document, but to be valid it must comply with a series of rules to meet legal requirements. This applies to all companies regardless of size, from corporations to micro-enterprises. A spreadsheet generally doesn’t account for these mandatory details. It is then your responsibility to know all the legal information that must appear on your accounting documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With tax regulations changing frequently, an online invoicing tool<\/strong> evolves at the same pace and is  constantly updated by experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk of Errors<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each manually entered formula represents a risk: legal risk, inaccurate financial statements, false declarations, business decisions based on wrong figures, loss of client trust… a minor error can have immense repercussions on your business. Fines during audits can quickly become very costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An online invoicing software will provide consecutive invoice numbers automatically and convert quotes to invoices seamlessly ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wasted Time<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using a spreadsheet can cause real organizational issues that undermine your productivity, that of your collaborators, and your clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information sharing is limited. It’s impossible to track invoices in terms of deadlines and follow-ups. \u23f1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storage <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Saving professional invoices on your hard drive is a risky decision. In case of hardware failure, you risk losing track of all invoices you’ve issued or received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
