Mobile application 'ONE UP' automates accounting for small businesses

Accounting is considered one of the most frustrating aspects of small businesses, forcing millions of business owners into heartburn-filled sleepless nights as reported by Cheyney Group Accounting Software Blog. Simply because they know they must be knowledgeable and in control of their cash flow, margins, sales figures and inventory levels.

Recently, a mobile application called ONE UP claims to lessen the amount of time used to manage accounts to just a couple of minutes each month. It is the result of 4 years of development and recommendations from customers.

It automatically synchronizes with banks and provides suggested entries that can be authenticated with one click. It is considered as "hands-free" accounting that can automatically update your inventory, handle your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and invoicing modules.

CEO of ONE UP, Francois Nadal said that it's as if you had a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) on your shoulder. It is an effective app for small business, and with the accounting solution they literally provide hands-free bookkeeping. Simply just after 3 months most of your data entry is eliminated as the app learns about your business.

The app is designed to perform routine tasks automatically for small businesses ranging from a sole proprietor up to those with twenty employees. It is also developed for active business owners that are on the go, so they can manage their business from anywhere using their mobile phones.

The application includes several convenient features such as the ONE UP Inventory, which will synchronize with the Point of Sale (POS) so the inventory information is updated automatically and re-ordering can be done with a single click. It can generate packing lists or delivery notes from sales orders and even updates the status of orders.

ONE UP Accounting allows your accountant to log in from another location to audit your books or export your financial records to their location.

ONE UP's CRM will track your chats, calls and task to help you organize your time so you can increase your opportunities with new customers or repeat sales.

Using the application is quick and simple, you just need to setup your bank account information, categorize your bank entries (expense, sale, and transfer), experience easy bank reconciliation, look at Cash Flow and Profit Reports and close out the year in a shot.

When an order comes in, the app's invoicing will begin the process and you can even customize your invoices.  It will automatically email your customer when their invoice is ready and you're able to keep track of your invoices with notifications sent out to your customers just before their payments are due. Sales are posted automatically with no hassle on your part.

The cost for ONE UP application starts up to $9 each month for a single user, but you can sign up for a 30-day trial at their website. ONE UP has clients in over 50 countries, and its software is used by 300,000 small business users. The app is based on the highly successful business suite myERP.com, and is recognized as a major partner with Google Apps and Square, Inc.

Cheyney Group Marketing: Hyperkin 'Smart Boy' joke actually a market test

What everyone thought was just another April Fool's prank turned out to be a clever market testing strategy.

Gaming retailer Hyperkin has unveiled a hardware emulator that can turn an iPhone into a Game Boy on April 1 with the following announcement on its Facebook page: "Meet the Smart Boy, an upcoming Game Boy-compatible device for the iPhone 6 Plus. This notion art shows that it will attach to the mobile phone, turning it into a handheld gaming device compatible with Game Boy and its Color cartridges."

Basically, the concept art looks like the control half of a Game Boy clipped to an iPhone. It has all the buttons on the classic handheld gaming device but this time, it will get power from the smartphone which is capable of providing about 5 hours straight of gameplay, as reported by Cheyney Group Marketing.

And after seeing a tide of positive response from consumers, Hyperkin came out with the punch line: "A lot of you were speculating that the Smart Boy is an April Fools' joke. Well, it sort of was ... Looks like you awesome folks ACTUALLY WANT IT, so the Smart Boy is now in development!"

The company admitted that they "leaked it with the initial intent of testing the market ... under the guise of an April Fools' Joke."  What makes it ingenious is its use of April 1 as a setting where they can  safely test the market's response to a quirky product -- if it receives jeers, they can just shrug it off with a "Happy April Fools!", but if it receives positive interest, it will endear itself to users with a "We'll make it for you then."

However, not everyone is thrilled with the surprise announcement, especially taking into consideration the potential infringement on Nintendo's intellectual property rights.

Some users also commented that Hyperkin has previously been accused of software license violations when it has taken code from RetroArch, an open-source gaming project. Cheyney Group Marketing confirmed that RetroArch is under non-commercial license so if Hyperkin did use the open-source code for commercial purposes, it's likely that there's been a violation.

Cheyney Group Marketing: GoDaddy's IPO to raise $418m

Web registrar GoDaddy has announced plans to make an Initial Public Offering (IPO) that will raise them USD 418 million and increase their market capitalization to almost USD 3 billion.

GoDaddy has filed for an IPO last year with the "GDDY" ticker symbol but it has yet to set an exact date for the IPO. The internet company based in Arizona which offers webhosting and domain registration has updated its filing last week with the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to Cheyney Group Marketing.

Around 61 million Class A and 90.4 million Class B stocks are expected to remain with the company after its public offering. Each share will range from USD 17 to USD 19, and with about 22 million stocks planned to be offered, the company has the potential to gain USD 2.88 billion in market capitalization.

This is not the first time the internet company has planned to go public though -- it was first rumored to have an IPO 6 years ago but it did not go through. Then in 2011, Technology Crossover Ventures, Silver Lake Partners and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Company acquired the firm which was valued at that time at USD 2.25 billion.

Should it successfully go through with listing on the NY Stock Exchange, it's reported to be valued now at almost USD 3 billion. However, since an IPO opens up a company's financial condition, it was revealed that GoDaddy lost USD 143 million out of its USD 1.4 billion revenue in 2014.

Experts from Cheyney Group Marketing are in agreement that 2015 is still a good year for internet firms to go public, and with the brand recognition that GoDaddy already has, it could prove to be popular with investors.

Since it was founded as Jomax Technologies in 1997, it has served around 12.7 million clients. It currently manages almost 60 million domains, making it the largest web registrar in the world.

Cheyney Group Accounting Software Review: Dear QuickBooks, I’m Breaking Up With You. It Isn’t You…It’s Me, The Cloud & ERP

Dear QuickBooks,

I am breaking up with you.

It isn’t you.

It’s me…

I have grown.

I am not the same small business I was when we met.

I have different needs, expectations and ambitions.

I appreciate everything you did to organize my payroll.

I thank you for every balance sheet.

You made me a better small business.

It’s just…

I am not a small business anymore.

I know there is a new small business out there waiting for you!

I will never forget you…

Fast Growing Business

Breaking up with QuickBooks…

Realizing your business has grown beyond the functionality and capabilities of QuickBooks is bittersweet. You realize you need a better way to create consolidated financial reports and the flexibility to format reports to meet your requirements. You admit your invoicing is too simplistic and needs to be upgraded to accurately reflect your services. You are running most of your reports in Excel, not QuickBooks, and you are spending too much time on manual entry of data into multiple systems.

You’re a growing company and want to keep it that way, but your auditors are consistently complaining – begging you to keep tighter internal controls and do a better job at tracking expenses. You are seeing the increasing need for real-time visibility into your financials. Plus, your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system can’t communicate with QuickBooks, resulting in yet more manual inputting – and a less comprehensive overview of corporate activities.

You can deny it no longer.

The time has come…breaking up with QuickBooks is inevitable.

Good news, it doesn’t have to be painful!

Cheyney Group Accounting Software Review: County Board OKs Accounting Software

After tabling discussion last month, members of the Montgomery County Board unanimously approved spending $57,875 on new financial and payroll software as part of their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday morning, Feb. 10, at the Historic Courthouse in Hillsboro.

Board members Mike Webb and Bob Sneed were absent from the meeting.

Finance Committee Chairman Megan Beeler said she tabled the motion last month because she felt there were some details that still needed to be ironed out. This month's motion featured an approval to purchase both the financial and payroll software from Zobrio, but the committee decided to hold off on the human resource and time keeping modules. Zobrio has agreed to lock in the same price for up to six months if the county decides to add the human resource or time keeping modules.

Board member Heather Hampton+Knodle asked if that price lock was included in the contract, and Beeler said it's not because it's not part of the proposal. Dave Penrod of Zobrio was present at the meeting and guaranteed to board members he would offer them that same price.

Board member Ron Deabenderfer asked about the advantages of the new software program. Beeler said the county is currently paying for a software system, and this one will improve the county's accounting ability and improve efficiency.

"It offers better payroll and inventory tracking," said Treasurer Ron Jenkins. "It brings us out of the Stone Age."

Board Chairman Roy Hertel said the county employees tried two new software companies and they preferred the Zobrio software, and Jenkins added that it's very user friendly.

Board member Mike Plunkett said the software does have an annual maintenance agreement, but will cost $9,000 a year less than maintenance on the current software.

"Basically, it will pay us back in six years," Plunkett said.

He added that the board budgeted $80,000 for the project and will come in well under that.

Consent Agenda

Under the consent agenda, Supervisor of Assessors Ray Durston reported he hired a new GIS technician, Cassidy Younker of Stonington. Durston said she is catching onto the new job very well and will attend training next week.

County Clerk Sandy Leitheiser said her office has been collecting fees under the Rental Housing Support Program. The state charges $9 for every recorded document and the county has collected $430,326 since the law's inception in August 2005.

"The intent was to serve low income housing," Leitheiser said. "I have been trying to advocate to get those dollars returned to Montgomery County."

She said that the CEFS program and CEO Paul White applied to receive some of that funding, and has brought $117,168 back to Montgomery County since 2012.

"We'd like to see it all come back here, but this is a good start," Leitheiser said.
