Growing Pain No. 10 & Summary: Entry-Level Accounting Is Holding You Back Traditional accounting software like QuickBooks can slow you down in multiple ways. As we’ve discussed in this blog series, QuickBooks has limited scalability and requires manual processes, resulting in downtime and obstacles for your business instead of paving the way for success. Travis Perkins, director of business technology at EMIT Technologies, believes that switching from QuickBooks to Microsoft Dynamics was a smart move for his company: We were relying on QuickBooks for basic accounting, but we needed to address long-term goals of our growing business and knew we would need a more robust solution that handled inventory management and manufacturing as well.
