You started your business because you loved your craft. You are passionate about what

you do, and confident customers want what you're offering. Yet the dream of owning

your own business can quickly become a nightmare if you don't take responsibilities

of an employer seriously.

if we have access to a system with simple menus and big buttons. However, end users

of popular products like QuickBooks and Gusto have become quickly and painfully
