This year, we’re thinking a lot about QuickBooks, and that’s not just to do with our exciting, upcoming acquisition by Intuit. We love checking out content written by our partners, so we thought it was high time we shared a few of our favorite QuickBooks blogs with you!
We have some exceptional accounting partners who, in between helping clients and meeting deadlines, put out their own educational and inspirational content. These are people who write regularly, sharing their insights with and guiding everyone from business owners to bookkeepers and accounting professionals.
They’re making their mark on the small business industry through articles that focus on improving business processes, meeting clients’ needs, creating an awesome culture, and getting the most out of technology like QuickBooks or TSheets!
Here are our top 14 blogs ranked for their respective audiences by domain authority. Did we miss any you think we should check out? Let us know in the comments below!
The Best Blogs for Business Owners
1. Nerd Enterprises by Seth David
This was a tough one because Seth David’s blog could top both categories. Still, we put him here because in between all his seriously awesome QuickBooks tips are some great articles on subjects every business owner will find interesting.
Take, for instance, this post on how to create an engaging video using Camtasia. Or this review on Evernote Moleskine Notebooks. A prime example is Seth’s most-shared post — this instructional vlog for accountants that will show you how transitioning from an hourly rate to a flat monthly or yearly rate can make you more profitable and keep you from undervaluing the work you do.
2. AccountingDepartment.com by Bill Gerber
Are you guilty of the 7 deadly sins of bookkeeping?
This is another blog stuffed to the brim with valuable content geared toward business owners. Each post aims to solve a problem or answer a question, with titles like “Are Outsourced Accounting Services a Threat to Local CPAs?” and “First-Time Contractor’s Guide to Avoiding Common Deficiencies.”
One of the best parts is how well organized this blog is. The Topics list on the right-hand side assists in navigation, allowing readers to narrow down their search and find just what they’re looking for. The AccountingDepartment.com blog also features whitepapers, like this most-shared piece on the seven deadly sins of bookkeeping.
3. GrowthForce by Stephen King
4 reasons your small business is ready to outsource the bookkeeping
No, not the Stephen King, though this guy’s blog is pretty thrilling. As any business owner knows, money and business go hand in hand. The best part about Stephen’s blog is every post surrounds those two topics and offers valuable solutions to everyday problems.
Wondering if it’s time for your small business to outsource its bookkeeping? There’s a blog about that. Need a resource that explains the difference between a budget and a forecast? There’s a blog about that. King’s most-shared blog has been his post on the seven drivers of cash flow, and it’s one you should absolutely check out here.
4. Training in a Box by Christine Galli
Christine Galli has some amazing powerhouse blogs that lay out a great deal of information in the briefest format possible (for example, see her most-shared post revealing her favorite value pricing resources).
Many of her blogs bring up issues important to accountants and business owners alike. Issues like fraud and how to jump-start your social media presence. Best of all, Christine’s posts often read like a friendly sit-down between friends, which makes browsing her content over lunch even more fun.
5. Two Roads by Natalie Aldredge
Natalie Aldredge’s blog packs a heavy value punch. She writes on a range of topics, including how to fight off imposter syndrome and how to build a financial strategy in 20 minutes. Her blog is a great read for busy professionals looking for inspiration between meetings. Don’t know where to start? Be sure to check out Natalie’s two-blog series, Bookkeeper versus Accountant (part one here and part two here).
6. Resources by Mariette Martinez
Mariette Martinez is passionate about helping small businesses succeed. Her blog is a great tool for any new business owner looking to take their accounting to the next level. Whether you’re hoping to avoid penalties on those yearly bonus checks or trying to figure out if you have to pay the $800 California Minimum Franchise Tax, Mariette has several posts to help you better understand your finances in 2018.
