Additionally, SQL Accounting is a popular accounting software used by many businesses and companies can be difficult and lack of convenient for business owners to maneuver because it’s highly technical and not user-friendly optimized. Realizing the need, they sought to fill it by developing a product that could assist SMEs and be used on any devices.
THE SOLUTION
1. Simplified Accounting Processes
Shoebox was designed with the help of Beyonary to contain all of the main accounting tasks in a much simplified version. This feature alone removes barriers for many, particularly small business owners. Not only that, Beyonary achieved Shoebox’s goal of simplifying accounting reports by allowing any users to download or read them via the webapp at any time, from any location.

With this, users can minimise the risk of losing documents and have a more organised documentation system.

A user or business owner may have more than one business. As a result, multi-company account management is an essential feature provided by Beyonary to ensure that a user’s numerous Shoebox accounts can be accessed using the same email address and password, making it easy to keep track of each account without having to log out and log back in with a separate email address.
