Better AP/AR System

I’ve been unsatisfied with my time tracking, invoicing, and accounting process for some time. Throw in project tracking and it’s been a real mess. Everything worked well. It’s just that it was too manual. Too many separate systems and too much time for what seemed like simple tasks.

I did some business thinking and identified my key problems:

I had selected the systems I liked best and wished they were integrated.
I kept putting off other approaches waiting for the perfect integration (that would only come if I built it myself).
I let the idea of a better system keep me from improving the current one.

I’ve reviewed my primary needs and tested several different products and product combinations. I’m pretty happy with what I’ve arrived at but I’ll have to let it run for a few more weeks before feeling totally satisfied. If it proves to be what I’m hoping it is, I’ll post the full structure as my own best practice review.
