How to prepare your small business for Black Friday
Black Friday is an opportunity for small businesses to grow their customer base and prove their loyalty to existing customers. Here are some tips.
Work with suppliers or contractors? Accounts payable software can help you to track who you need to pay and when.
Regardless of what business you run, it is almost certain you work with suppliers, contractors or employees who need to be paid.
You want to avoid wasting time struggling to use an unintuitive solution only to get phone calls from your suppliers or employees complaining about being paid the incorrect amount, or not at all. You must instead know who needs to be paid and when and then have confidence in your Sage accounting software.
Remember, paying suppliers on time will strengthen your relationship with them and help you renegotiate how often you pay in the long run.
Automating accounts payable will help you improve the accuracy of financial information, save time on business processes and give team members free time to work on other activities.
Taking this step is also useful if you want to avoid defaulting on suppliers and vendors.
The best way to find and calculate accounts payable is to keep accurate financial records and track what you owe to suppliers.
