Best Simplybook Alternatives

Whether you run a nail salon, spa, or fitness center, you’ve probably run into some of the same issues with Simplybook: an inability to link to comprehensive POS systems, integrate with other third-party platforms, or give calendar controls to all of your staff.

Best Smartlead Alternatives for Predictable Sending

As someone who’s spent over 5 years “selling stuff door to door” (a.k.a. cold emailing), I get why so many of you like Smartlead: unlimited warm-ups, dynamic sequences by the dozen, that “send from any inbox” freedom. And in all honesty, it does tick a lot of boxes for outreach volume. But once you start ... Read more

The Best Automation Software for Small-Business Accounting: My Experience as a CPA

As a CPA who has cleaned up more ledgers than I dare admit, I judge automation by one thing: does it cut typing without hiding risk or just plain, flat out getting things wrong. In my experience, the best tools connect bank and card feeds, apply exceptionally clear rules, route bills for approval, and surface ... Read more

OneNotary vs. BlueNotary: A CPA’s Field Guide to Choosing an Online Notary

What up, number crunchers and SMB owners? I’ve run a CPA for a while now and see how “small” workflow choices ripple into real costs like lost time chasing signatures, rescans because a seal isn’t clear, or a client who gives up halfway through identity checks. Remote Online Notarization (RON) solves a lot of that, ... Read more
OneNotary vs. PandaDoc Notary

OneNotary vs. PandaDoc Notary: A CPA’s Comparison

If you’re like me (and every other accountant that walks the earth), you probably don’t like change. If things aren’t broken, they don’t need to be fixed. Normally, I’d wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment, and luckily, I don’t run the world, otherwise we’d never have discovered fire, and we’d still be living in huts. Luckily, ... Read more

OneNotary vs. NotaryLive: A CPA’s Honest Comparison

Alright, let’s talk about something that is somewhat new to me, and probably is to you, too. This year, I ran across Remote Online Notarizations, which are something I’d never heard of before. It’s sort of like DocuSign but for notarizations. It takes no time, is easy, and overall, I was super impressed with it. ... Read more

Best Online Booking Systems for Salons

Having a central location for online booking is essential for salons. As an independent or small, scaling business, you might be able to get away with multiple online systems to manage things like inventory, if you have it, POS, and marketing, but these are all secondary to being able to secure your online bookings. So ... Read more

Best Small Business Spa Software

If you’re running a small business spa, the software you need most will typically provide several services in one location with options for third-party integration or custom features.

With the rise of technology and now AI, adapting to modern ways of training individuals is a critical step for organizations to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to employee engagement and upskilling.

My Top Shopify Shipping Alternatives: A fresh look for 2025

Shipping is absolutely, utterly, completely, with shrieking boldface and capital letters central to e-commerce.
