There was a bookkeeper who had been doing her job for many years now. She was an old-school accountant, using paper and pencil to track all the finances of her clients. It kept her busy and she enjoyed it, but as time went on, she could feel that there were faster and more efficient ways of keeping accounts than the traditional method she used.
It wasn’t until one day when she heard about Excel spreadsheets from a colleague at work that she decided to give it a try. At first, the transition felt daunting: so much new technology to learn! But with some help from friends and colleagues, she soon got up to speed with this modern way of accounting — no more erasing mistakes or counting out change!
In no time at all, her confidence in Excel grew – so much so that even when other software came onto the market like Sage, which allowed bookkeepers like herself to do their jobs even more quickly from any device they liked at any location they wanted – she stuck with what she knew best. “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” was her motto after all!
But then something happened which changed everything: cloud-based applications arrived on the scene which allowed people like this bookkeeper to access their data anywhere in the world without having to install anything locally on their machines; plus they also integrated different types of software such as timesheets and payment processing tools, filing documents into one single package — perfect for busy bookkeepers who needed quick results fast.
Within weeks of adopting these new technologies into her business practices, she noticed how much easier things became for both herself and her clients; errors were drastically reduced thanks to better validation systems in place; money saved through automation, despite investment to software increased and time to learn all these apps; plus lots more free time for family & friends for her clients due not having worry about tedious paperwork anymore! And let’s not forget those newly opened hobby possibilities either… knitting classes anyone?
