# data[].attributes.body
Being a small business owner often means that you're responsible for every process of your enterprise. And the most demanding work is obviously the area of financing where you should focus on different things such as data entry, reporting, tax obligations and debtor issues t avoid major problems and serious consequences in the end.

Yes, it may cause you major headaches as the business owner, and Alfa One Corporation understands the pressure involved in handling the finances of your business and how difficult it is to run your own organization. That is why the firm prepared this post in order to assist small business owners in managing their accounts.

Make more time for your finances

During daily business operations, the financing function of a small business is sometimes forgotten due to other priorities of a small business owner, including running the business, generating leads and building a brand.

As an owner, you can properly track your business and develop more comprehensive decisions if you're going to allow more time working on your accounts every week. When you are dealing with your finances, Alfa One Corporation suggests that you spend at least half an hour doing it.

Knowing other issues within your business such as underperforming areas and unpaid debts is possible if you work regularly on your business finances. It’s also easier to remember transactions that are consistently entered than completing the data entry for the month or quarter.

Create a budget

Some small business owners create a budget for their organization. However, budgeting is one of the most underrated financing tools in small business. Determining the areas of the business that goes beyond to the original plan and ones that need further improvement is possible to the owners and stakeholders with a properly constructed budget.

As a small business owner, you can obtain knowledge on how your business is running by frequently comparing actual results to the budget to avoid the feeling of getting scammed. If your business is in its early stages, understand that your budget will not always be perfect for your enterprise, but you can still get a full understanding of your business as it grows by carefully adjusting the budget and comparing results to the previous periods.

Limit your debtors

You must track your invoices meticulously and if possible, minimize the amount of time between invoicing and payment to avoid dire situations including late payments to your employees or suppliers, late payments of debt and other obligations along with different penalties and consequences connected to missing those payments.

To ensure payment on time, Alfa One Corporation recommends that you should not accept any extra work from the customers who haven’t settled their debt with your business. Doing upfront invoicing is also preferable.

Connect with outsiders

Individuals outside your business are often an ideal source of good and genuine input, feedbacks and reviews. It’s better to obtain the views of people with experience in finance and/or small businesses because they could provide an alternative perspective. As a result, you will be presented with different ideas and strategies that you didn't think of before and obtain information for other business issues like industry specific issues that may not be considered by a professional. On the other hand, the Alfa One team suggests the guidance of professionals in choosing the best accounting software along with issues regarding taxes.

Choose the best software

Alfa One Corporation Accounting Solutions already discussed some helpful tips on how to choose the best accounting software for your business on their previous post. With the perfect software, you and your business will get a lot of benefits. Software that is tailored for a specific business is available in the market; however, there are a lot of them so you must choose wisely. You must consider your business' needs and interests first before choosing the right accounting software for your business. Don't hesitate to contact the Alfa One team if you have any questions about your small business or if you need any assistance.

Identify your weak points

In order to have a better financial life, you must determine your problem areas and find ways to fix those flaws.

Develop S.M.A.R.T goals

In particular, S.M.A.R.T means specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound. Those five words are difficult to accomplish, but Alfa One Corporation encourages you to do your best and be determined to work hard for your financial goals. If your goal is measurable, then you can verify if you're making progress towards your goal's successful completion. Ensure that your goal is not so easy to fulfill but also attainable at the same time wherein it can be both high and realistic. A goal should also be grounded within a time frame to have a sense of urgency.

Study the different types of goals

Medium-term goals are the things you want to accomplish in the next year or two such as buying a new vehicle or going into a trip. Long-term goals include major purchases or investment strategies.

Alfa One Corporation wants you to include all three to your financial plan this year. Setting your short, medium and long-term goals can be easier if you have the guidance of a financial advisor.

Alfa
One Corporation Accounting Solutions: Top social media scams to avoid in 2016

# data[].attributes.body
Nowadays, almost everyone is vulnerable in the virtual world and it's not surprising that scammers often target victims in social media sites. The power of social media is massive these days because there are billions of people using social media platforms every day to perform different purposes.

Alfa One Corporation Accounting Solutions claims that the personal, especially the financial information of a person are not 100% secured online. Experts reveal that in the past few years, the number of phishing attempts on social networking sites has exploded to more than a hundred percent.

To hide their identity, fraudsters often blend in with the crowd and use social media to target a lot of people. They take advantage of the way people use social media by mimicking users and their activities to deal with business matters. Alfa One Corporation reviewed some studies and found out that the following are the most common scams on social media sites today.

Fake customer service accounts

This deceitful scheme often happens on Twitter. Criminals who reside online can phish the financial and other sensitive data of their victims by creating fake customer service accounts. Their usernames may seem identical to the genuine ones, but note that there are usually some characters that do not match or does not belong to the original one. Look for an extra underscore or other keyboard characters.

One example of this scheme is that when a real customer tweets at a major bank, the fraudsters will divert the conversation by replying to that tweet with an answer that seems authentic. And intercept the tweet with a link to a fake support site that attempts to steal the customer's actual banking account details.

Fake comments

Well, this could be done by anyone, but scammers have different motifs behind and often done on popular posts. It's apparent that a well-liked social media post or news story will generate a lot of comments and the scammers will take advantage of that. They will pretend to be an ordinary Facebook user and will comment on posts with links that could catch the interest of many that often leads to a credit card phishing scam.

Fake discounts

Some online discounts are bogus and this scheme is somewhat similar to fake customer service accounts. Scammers will create social media accounts that are identical to real businesses and pretend to offer real deals and discounts, and then steal your personal and financial information.

Fake live-stream videos

Live-streaming appears to be a trend nowadays and a lot of media companies began streaming their shows and movies online. Through this, scammers find a new way to find possible targets and carry out financial phishing scams. For example, they usually offer a link to a free live stream and many people will tend to believe them and not knowingly, becomes a victim of an evil scheme. In this tactic, the link will take you to a fake website and demands you to provide your personal information in order to begin the live-stream.

Fake surveys and contests

Not all online surveys and contests available on the web are real. Scammers can mine and sell your personal data by doing surveys and contests that require you to provide your credentials through personal questions. Scammers use the comment section on social media sites to target as many people as possible with fake online surveys and quizzes that steal personal information. They often embed them into social media posts and often look legit because of URL shorteners and there's also a normal looking profile picture. Be aware of a comment that goes something like this: "What's your opinion? We'd like to know! Participate in our research surveys and enter to win prizes!”

Alfa One Corporation always strives to give people important warnings about scammers on social media sites. The firm wants you to remember that the only one responsible for your own safety is yourself. Not every post you see on the internet is real, so be cautious all the time.
