Hey Guys,
I am pulling out my hair!!! Can you guys please give me some input on how you run your back end book keeping and transaction management.

I can't figure out a perfect way to do my back-end stuff. Like bookkeeping, tracking agents stats/YTD, auto-calculating commission splits, printing checks, printing statements.

I only have 20 agents right now, so I've been doing everything in Excel. But I am growing and as I grow, I hate Excel more and more. I keep entering the same data, by hand, SO many times. So much room for error.

Is there any decent software programs or web-based apps (that's somewhat easy to use) when I can just enter a closing and have it calculate the checks, print statements for agent, save data for company profits, agents YTD. Along with track escrow accountants, etc. All within a few steps?

I've tried 2 programs for $100 a month, and one is more frustrating that the other. Both are so complicated, I'll never be able to hire an office manager or admin I would trust enough to operate. Can anyone please give me some feedback on how you run, track, etc. your back end.

Thanks Guys!!!
Mike

You will have to trust someone.You can't do it all efficiently.

Paperwork and a type "A" thing is not me. That's not where my magic is.Mine is getting business and closing sales. So you pay a type "A" person to handle your papers.

Even if you have a great system they will be able to do it ten time faster and more accurate than you because it's what they enjoy.Doesn't mean you don't check in and oversee it for accuracy.

No your right, thanks for advice bud. I am just looking for some type of software, program, etc that makes it a little more turn key than using a million excel files for everything like I am now.

Our office uses a program called "Lone Wolf". Check it out.

Talk to an accountant or advertise for a good bookkeeper.
