Hi, Here's a suggestion. Essentially answering THE most important question EVERY biz owner asks themselves daily .... am I making money or am I heading for broke?
Basically, it occurs to me that most of us are small biz and probably have terrible accounting skills along with the fact that very few of us have a bookkeeper on our payroll. So this would give the little guy the advantage and save hundreds/thousands? each year in accounting costs.
Have the ability to see an overview of all financial acitivites (Income, Expenses, Taxes (in/out) and extract reports to be given to an accountant for easier use (read less hours/lower charges) at tax time.
This would require an expenses capability for bookkeeping. So under billing an authorized person could create a category (ie: Misc. Office Supplies) and any others as needed (Domain Reseller fees). To add an expense, click the category to create an expense line. That line contains a Date, Paid To, Invoice number, Sub total, tax paid, total paid. So if you bought some pencils, you can take the receipt and add that as a purchase. Or any of your monthly upstream invoices can be added as they are paid.
Combined with the above, Blesta could then show a real-time overview with total income, total expenses, Profit/Margin. Maybe with a choice such as date-range or last 30,60,90,120, or 1,2,3,4,..12 months.
Reports could be pulled as well, all expenses in last (date-range). All taxes paid, All income...etc. etc. which can then be given as CSV to a bookkeeper or accountant for 'easier' accounting. All business' need to provide Income and Expenses as minimum to any accountant. So this just compiles each of those into separate CSV's for importing.
Thoughts?
