New entrepreneurs have a lot on their plate and a lot to worry about. In addition to your main business, you need to think about administration, accounting, invoicing and time management. Unfortunately, you cannot be an expert at everything, which only adds to the general stress and anxiety of a fresh start.
Do you sometimes wish someone else could take over some of the work for you? That is what Atlanto is for. How can Atlanto help start-ups?
“I Am Just Starting, and My Company Is Still Very Small.”
Atlanto can help you from the very beginning, giving you a strong foundation on which to build your company.
Start with a good business plan. Putting together a business plan with Atlanto is much quicker and simpler. Instead of spending hours tweaking the design and formatting, or using templates from the Internet, all you need to do is insert the relevant information; the software then creates and saves the document automatically. You may create and download several business plans at any time.
As an entrepreneur, you will likely need to stay in contact with many different people: Customers, business partners, suppliers, and others. Use Atlanto to save their contact details, to have all the information you need saved right from the start. Write notes about them: When can you wish them a happy birthday? Do they prefer a particular product? Did important details come up in conversation that you need to remember? Plus, thanks to a connection to the accounting software, you can view the respective contact’s open invoices.
These invoices do not need to be written by hand either. Atlanto allows you to create many different types of documents without too much effort. The software tells you exactly what to write and then takes care of design and formatting automatically. Even better: An offer can be turned into an invoice in a few seconds.
Unfortunately, in most cases you will not only create invoices, but also receive them. Of course, you could save them in a folder or keep them in a box. This, however, requires a lot of space and good organisational skills. After all, documents, receipts, and invoices can accumulate quickly and, in the worst case, might even be lost. Once again, Atlanto can help: use the Atlanto aoo to scan receipts and invoices and save them to your Atlanto Inbox. You can then process and post them from there. The connection to the accounting software saves you time and effort.
“My Company Is Growing, and I Want to Create a Professional Foundation.”
A strong foundation leads to growth. Growth leads to greater administrative effort. But don’t worry: Even with a bigger workload, Atlanto can help.
With a larger company and more orders, you will likely have to create more documents. Atlanto does not just give you the choice between quotes and invoices. Order confirmations, requisition, delivery, and credit notes can be written as well. In this case, too, all you need to do is fill in the fields with the necessary data, after which you can download the document as a PDF or send it to others by e-mail.
Ideally, your company will have some kind of accounting system right from the beginning. If not, you should set up one at this point at the latest. Luckily you have Atlanto: Our software makes accounting much easier and faster. Both financial accounting and payroll are included. Mass postings allow you to save a lot more time.
A cloud solution also simplifies collaboration with trustees. If you do not yet have one, you can contact an Atlanto-certified trustee on our website and obtain their support. Once it’s time for the annual accounts and VAT settlement, this can also be easily done by trustees or by you.
Atlanto’s cloud solution simplifies the collaboration with your fiduciary. If you not yet have a fiduciary, you can contact an Atlanto-certified fiduciary on our website and get their support. They will be able to help you once it is time to create your financial and VAT statements, unless you would like to take care of them yourself.
“My Business Is Taking Off.”
Even if your company already exists and is thriving, Atlanto can help you. The functions mentioned so far can be combined in our project management tool. Create a new project, then add a budget and a team. You will then be able to create and save offers, and the resulting invoices, directly under the respective project. Indicate costs incurred over the course of this project, then use the project overview to compare them to your budget. Work hours can be posted to a specific project and invoiced in the same place. In summary, anything that can be done under various modules, can now be managed under one project.
The more projects you will take on, the more employees you will probably need, which brings more administrative work for you. The additional work involved in payroll can also be handled by Atlanto. Save your employees’ information, such as bank account numbers, employment relationships, social insurance, and others. Then start payment runs directly in the software and manage payroll parallel to your financial accounting.
