Awards for Innovation in Accounting for Business and Subcontractors

We thank everyone that has made TaxGst a success.

When we launched this product we were told, " That because there are already so many accounting software packages on the market that we would be wasting our time".

But we looked at it and said:

"Don't you mean we are now competition?"

"Don't you mean the other software developers are now wasting their time"

To date we have enjoyed many references and awards for innovation and design. We believe the main reason our style of bookkeeping and accounting software is being so well received is because we have remained focused on helping the home business, subcontractors and contractors get out of the office and back to doing the things they enjoy.

By removing all the useless accounting rubbish from our software, and leaving the parts that are actually useable and useful, our clients have become calmer and more confident with accounting for their income.

These awards show that focusing on the client and not the bottom line as our corporate buddies does eventually reap rewards.

Like what you do

We never set out to generate this software for public use. In the early days it was primarily for personal in house use, as we were unable to find bookkeeping software which was easy to use, and could perform the tasks of calculating income and expenses and providing simple logical reports.

So the most basic thing was created and evolved as time rolled by. Then a few copies were given out in the industry to some of our clients, friends and relatives.

Eventually it got a following with more people using it and throwing away the software they were struggling with. Some of these individuals purchased software with government grants they received as one off payments due to the introduction of Gst in Australia.

So after the kind words the software was receiving we decided to see if we could actually turn it into some money. Yes the first attempt failed due to lack of knowledge about internet marketing.

So it was put on a shelf and there it sat for the next few years collecting dust. As like many of us involved in Small Businesses I had to put my attention to making money in the here and now as food was an important part of living. A few years on we discovered that those using the original versions of the software were still as delighted as the first day they started. So this began to stir my pot and I decided to give it another go.

It's amazing what can be achieved the second time around. The support received from the community makes it all worth the effort. It also makes me smile when I know that a few bucks in my pocket has also saved our clients hundreds of stress free hours each year. Many of our clients come from other bookkeeping programs and they report that they now save many hours each week simply because TaxGst is so easy to use and understand.
