Keep your cash flow healthy
Healthy cash flow is paramount to the success of any business, and it can only be achieved when your customers pay you on time. Zoho Books offers you the flexibility to collect payments via multiple methods, so you can receive more timely payments from your customers. You can integrate with a payment gateway or a bank to collect payments online. You can also set automated payment reminders in Zoho Books to send timely notifications to your customers regarding payments due. This saves the time you would usually spend on following up delinquent customers manually.
Automate your repetitive tasks
As a small business owner, you wear many hats while running your business. You don’t have time to do repetitive tasks that could be automated. Zoho Books equips you with automation features such as recurring invoices, payment reminders, a report scheduler and more to help you set mundane tasks on auto-pilot. It helps you save time so you can focus on other important tasks and grow your business.
Gain powerful insights
Zoho Books’ intuitive dashboard helps you understand how your business is doing at a glance. 60+ reports give you powerful insights on your business’ financial health, and the customization option allows you to filter the data by date to measure how your business has performed over different time periods. All of this will help you quickly make the right decisions for your business.
Scale your business
As your business grows, you will need tools to manage its changing needs. Zoho’s broad portfolio of business apps will help you scale up effortlessly. The Zoho Finance Suite has applications to take care of your inventory, payroll, travel expenses and subscriptions. All these finance apps are pre-integrated, meaning they work together to make your business data contextually available in each application. For example, the customer that you add to Zoho Inventory is instantly available in Zoho Books as a customer without any extra data entry. This level of tight integration will make your business work as one.
