When I first started my tutoring business, I tried several combinations of off the shelf software. None of them addressed all of the functions I needed. What one program did really well in one area, it lacked in another. Trying to combine software was confusing and time-consuming. Finally, I had a software program written that was tailored specifically to my needs. I worked closely with a group of professionals who understand my business and helped to create a program that does it all in one application.
The result is our accounting software package called Accounting Tools For Tutors. ATFT is a customized software program written specifically for Home Tutoring Business. This program is web-based, so it can be accessed from your PC or anywhere you may be that has internet capabilities. ATFT tracks your entire customer and tutor database and streamlines the cumbersome process of billing your clients and paying your tutors. Some of the other time-savings advantages ATFT provides you are:
- a complete list of individual tutors and their entire list of their clients
- a complete list of clients and their tutors (often a client uses more than one tutor)
- the ability to establish billing options for each client – pre-payment or after the fact billing
- the ability to establish the frequency of billing for each client – monthly, bi-weekly, weekly or any other parameter
Don’t waste your time trying to find an off the shelf program to manage your business. None of them adequately meet the specific needs of this business. Some companies may try to sell you a cumbersome ‘customized’ spreadsheet. Why try to manage your business with Excel or other programs, when one simple application will do it all for you?
The advantages of Accounting Tools For Tutors are many. ATFT is a complete Accounting program that will produce your Profit & Loss Report, Balance Statement, Receivables, Payables and much more. It also manages your Company allowing you to interface your tutors’ hours with your clients’ invoices. If your client cancels a session or tutors overtime, no problem and no need to do any manual entries. ATFT will save you time, thus allowing you to take comfort in the fact that your books will always be organized and up to date. You can focus on developing your business.
