I have a very simple problem but it boggles my mind because I'm most likely not informed very well about the accounting solutions out there (both web based and pc based).
Right now I'm taking care of my "accounting" using good old spreadsheets. And I have 3 columns. In the first column I put the name of clients who need to pay, in the second column the amount for each client, and the third
column is the due date (when they are supposed to pay). And I find myself having to manually edit the third column because, as you well know, not all clients pay when they are supposed to pay. And I want to record the income not
on the date when I send out the invoice but when I manage to get the funds from the client. And I personally think that what I'm manually doing is ridiculous, and there must be a better way. Ideally would be when the dates are automatically
updated and even if possible, to input the email address of the client and every week (or whatever I set) that he gets a reminder or something that he needs to pay the invoice.
Any ideas for how to go about doing this?
