What online money management/finance/accounting service do you use to manage your business? I am not looking for personal finance services such as buxfer and mint.
I would use a basic spreadsheet until you actually get to revenue or have got some outside funding in the door. Keep those fixed expenses as close to zero as possible.<p>For managing startup financial and strategic goals though PlanHQ is really nice (<a href="http://www.planhq.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.planhq.com</a>) I just wish they had a basic minimal free version to hook pre-revenue startups who could then switch to a premium plan once things progressed.<p>Many of the top VCs have their startups on PlanHQ to give everyone visibility into progress (strategic and financial)
I haven't used them but have heard good things:<p><a href="http://freshbooks.com" rel="nofollow">http://freshbooks.com</a><p>Couple bonuses for me:
- there's an API to use
- easy to use
- scalable pricing
- they're Canadian
I've got these guys bookmarked for when I need them: <a href="https://www.clarityaccounting.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.clarityaccounting.com/</a><p>EDIT: I can't comment at all on their actual services.
You should use a spreadsheet (Google or Microsoft will do) until you are actually taking payments of any sort, and use whatever capabilities your bank provides through their online banking as well.
