When Syntagma Digital was a new business, bookkeeping and accountancy were a major problem. We bought a couple of software packages — Quickbooks and Sage — but both were far too complex for a simple content business selling only ad space online and with no employees.

Nowadays we rely on professional services, but for bootstrapping startups a quick, easy and FREE small business accountancy package would be a blessing.

Microsoft has helpfully provided such a package as part of its Office 2007 suite and is offering it as a standalone product for small businesses.

The Money Log will soon become part of Syntagma Digital’s new network magazine, Moneyizor.

This will require a change of livery and a regular slot in the magazine’s dynamic content producer. It will also mean more regular updating with lots of new features.

Moneyizor will cover all aspects of finance and business, including the stock markets, innovation, entrepreneurial matters and small business.
