Free Accounting & Invoice Software

Accounting & Invoice Services

Wave

https://www.waveapps.com/

     I have not used this app yet nor do I get any compensation, but I am very interested in it due to my virtual assistance business. The Free version lets you manage income and expenses, invoices, balance sheets, and gives you business trends. For payment & payroll services there is a fee. With Wave+ they offer accounting coaching & bookkeeping also for a fee.

     I have been using a Free Invoice Generator service that is good but lacks features.

     Quickbooks is another option but it cost money and especially if you're just starting out your money is limited.

     As a small business owner remember to still hire someone at Tax Time even when you use any of these services, apps.

     Great review of this product with screenshots on Careful Cents

Fun Fact Friday Mobile Phone Users

Did You Know?

     In 2015 there was a statistic that the average mobile user checked his/her phone 150 times per day. Do you think that average has increased? I did. 

     But a 2017 study found that it was 80 times per day (every 12 min.). Is it due to the novelty of the device decreasing? Perhaps we use other devices as well like the computer, laptops, etc. more often or in combination with our mobile?

     With all this rise in technology, don't be left behind especially if you are a business owner. A virtual assistant can pick up the slack for you in this area. Keeping up with Facebook and other social media areas can take up to an hour per day or week depending on if you need products posted, comments made on your page/pages or on guest pages, posts from your blog, update old posts and revive them, etc. As a Virtual Assistant, I can help.

A New Family Favorite Recipe

Cola Ribs in an Instant Pot

(can be baked or slow-cooked, but takes much longer)

https://cincyshopper.com/instant-pot-ribs/

Thank you, Jen, from Cincy Shopper

     If you're a busy person who owns your own business, an Instant Pot (that is just the brand I have, I receive no commission for this plug) is a quicker way to make items more tender and delicious.

Didn't my cola ribs turn out great?

     This recipe for Cola Ribs is delicious, tender and will take approx. 1 hour from start to finish in the Instant Pot (baking 3.5 hrs and slow-cooking 8+ hours). The ribs are dry rubbed and placed above the cola in the Instant Pot. Pressure cooked: 10 min. until pressure is up, 30 min. , quick release. Once out of the cooker place on baking sheet, put on your favorite BBQ sauce front and back, broil back of ribs first and then the meaty portion (3-5 min. don't take your eyes off of them). Enjoy with baked beans, Cole Slaw, and potato salad.

Follow my Pinterest Instant Pot recipes that I collect. If I make them, I rate them and place in my Tried & Tested Board. You can also follow my Virtual Assistant Board
