Small businesses have helped keep the economy running in times of hardship. As we enter the New Year of 2023, there are new trends and ways for small business owners to utilize to optimize their small business. Financial tools and software are an important part of financial management for any business. Financial management tools for small business are also helpful for simplifying many everyday tasks including payroll, invoicing, paying bills, and taxes. "Examples of business finance tools are accounting software like QuickBooks or FreshBooks that can help a small-business owner with any accounting-related tasks, including invoicing, expense management, sales, payroll, taxes, and inventory management" (American Express, 2022).


According to American Express, the six financial management tools that can help businesses save time and money by keeping you organized is as follows:

1. Accounting Software

Accounting Software may save you time and money. There are many to choose from and it is important to choose the right accounting software according to your business needs. Information management software may be found here.

2. Expense Tracking

Expense tracking is valuable to utilize on its own to separate reimbursements and  may be related to accounting software. Not all accounting softwares come with expense tracking and reports, so if this is important to you or you travel a lot, look for one built in or separate expense tracking softwares may be found here

3. Budgeting Tools

Budgeting is incredibly important when it comes to managing cash flow. Budgeting tools help you plan for upcoming months accordingly.

4. Payroll Management

As a small-medium sized business owner, you will want payroll solutions that scale and grow your business. Looks for Payroll Management that may integrate with your accounting software. Also, the type of employees you have will determine the correct solution.

"When it comes to the payroll process, it should include every single detail of how the process works" (Alilimano,2023).

5. Easy Billing

If you decide to get an online software, it is important to get a solution with flexible payment and robust set of features. Additionally, it is essential to get a solution with the ability to create invoices, track expenses, and time.

6. Inventory Tracking

There are many tools available to track profits/losses but what about inventory management? This may be trickier as you grow larger, more products, more facilities, etc. You will need powerful tools to help automate inventory monitoring and tracking as it will save you time and money. 

"Since we are now way past the era of using computers, all of these solutions have Mobile Apps to perform all the necessary functions on your smartphone. This makes payroll management simpler, easier, and less time-consuming. These apps also offer various training capabilities that can be used to provide training to employees anytime, anywhere" (Demotix, 2023).
