Spreadsheets are archaic, bland, and confusing for most employees. They are also difficult to use or understand. Spreadsheets make it incredibly easy for accounting errors to occur because they are hard to follow for most employees. Not to mention, they offer nothing in the ways of security or visual reporting.
These problems result in fudged numbers, audits, and inaccurate income or expenditures. With MERIDIAN, your employees are confined to certain parameters, so they cannot unintentionally (or intentionally!) sabotage your finances. With field validation, a clear paper trail, and incredible ease to look through invoices or expenditures to find discrepancies, keeping finances in check is a breeze.
Even more beneficial are the visual graphs, which show you how each employee is performing, how your business is performing as a whole, and how to catch potential financial problems before they occur.
Spreadsheets cannot do that.
The age-old saying, "You get what you pay for" can be attributed to spreadsheets very well. Although an in-house spreadsheet is "free", the time spent dealing with its problems and headaches quickly outpaces its free price. So are spreadsheets truly free? Free of problems, they are not.
You hire a new employee and give them access to the spreadsheet calculator, explaining to them which each section of the spreadsheet does and how to use it properly. To you, the business owner and likely the one who created the spreadsheet calculator, the spreadsheet makes perfect sense. After all, you created it, so you know how all the gears turn and where everything is going.
However, to the new employee, they see this bland, monotonous table with a bunch of fields that are hard to distinguish. To them, some of the fields or the wording on the spreadsheet are confusing, but to not look like an idiot and prove they have what it takes to be a good employee, they do not ask for help. Instead, they use the spreadsheet calculator to the best of their ability. Unfortunately, they misinterpreted a field or entered the wrong number, and you as the business owner do not catch it until it is too late. Your numbers are all askew, and you have no idea where the problem is, and it is likely that the new employee does not remember the exact details of what they did since it was a couple of weeks ago. As a result, the NSRP business bureau informs you that your business is being audited because they noticed strange activity in your finances, and now you have to account for every last cent or face losing your business.
Owning and maintaining a business can be challenging. Being a business owner stems from the desire to do what one loves, and the difficult, time consuming overhead is often a necessary inconvenience. MERIDIAN has heard the call of many business owners, and we aim to take the worries of overhead off the shoulders of hard working business owners. MERIDIAN does this through its comprehensive suite of business applications that are easy to use and follow.
Government audits are a very real situation, and your business could be audited when you least expect it. With MERIDIAN's meticulous book keeping, you will never need to worry if you receive a government correspondence that your business is being audited. Being able to refer back to previous income and expenditures is a breeze, unlike spreadsheets that are time consuming and aggravating to sift through and produce reports for a government audit.
Meridian offers many great features that make managing a business extremely easy. Even at our lowest tier, subscribers will immediately notice an improvement in maintaining business overhead. With the higher tier, however, more output and control of MERIDIAN is obtained, even to the point of requesting exclusive features to your instance of MERIDIAN.
Interested in MERIDIAN, but not sure if you want to invest in revolutionizing the way your business overhead is managed? Take advantage of our 30 day free trial! If your business is a new subscriber to MERIDIAN, you can enjoy worry-free business management tools for 30 days, at the PLATINUM TIER. No strings attached.
After the trial, if you do not feel MERIDIAN has simplified your operations, made income and expenditure tracking easier, or provided more to you than your spreadsheet, we will export your business' data for the trial period, allowing your business to return to the mundane spreadsheet for continued overhead management. On the other hand, if you wish to stick with MERIDIAN, we can discuss payment options. See the pricing below for additional details.
