Every girl wants the happiest day in her life to be ‘just perfect’. Cathy Akinkunmi decided to don the hat of a wedding planner and decorator while planning her daughter’s 10th birthday ‘Princess’ Theme party.
The result was Beautiful Linen Rentals. She says,
When ‘you’ are responsible for the little details that makes the perfect wedding, you’ve got to be on top of your game every single moment.
As a wedding planner she’s constantly wearing multiple hats. While meeting new clients, discussing decor style, selecting colors and setting up the venue are part of her job description, she also needs to manage her business. When she’s busy ensuring the day remains perfect for someone else, she needs assurance that her finances are being managed well. Returning home to messy paperwork is not what she looks forward to at the end of the day.
She started managing her accounts with good old excel. But as the business grew, she wanted an online application which was simple, customizable and which gave her the snapshot of her financial health at any given point. With a busy schedule and working 16 hours a day, she didn’t have the patience nor the time to learn complicated software. She found Zoho Books when she was looking for a simple accounting application for small business and after the free trial she was sold.
The ability to download my banking information and auto populate my expenditure is just awesome and saves a lot of my time. Zoho gives me the opportunity to free up valuable time to focus on other issues, issues which I cannot delegate at this point in time.
