Do you want to operate your business in a more sustainable manner while maintaining and growing your financial profitability?
Bookkeeping tools can help!
You already track and analyze your costs through bookkeeping. By using applications that integrate with cloud-based accounting software such as Quickbooks Online or Xero, you can track and analyze your carbon footprint as well. These tools can support your ability to make the best decisions for your business.
These analysis applications are specific to small and medium size businesses, and are free or reasonably priced. I can help you select an application and provide you with reports to measure your progress towards reaching your goals. I do not charge a fee for incorporating these reports into the bookkeeping services I provide, and you can choose to begin at any time.
There are many benefits to tracking and reporting impact information. This infographic was copied with permission from the Small Business Big Impact Booklet by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the International Organization of Employers (IOE):
