Make your accountants love you: ShoeBoxed.com
I have a confession: I used to be absolutely terrified of the accounting staff, even though we’re not even in located in the same state. The nightmares of our CFO, Tim Holland, showing up on my doorstep and laying the smacketh down on me wouldn’t go away after trade shows. In order for me to get re-imbursed for expenses related to company trips, I have to turn in receipts related to the purchases. Keeping track of receipts is definitely not something I’d call a strong suit of mine. I tend to lose, or grow tired of them taking up space in my wallet and eventually just throw them away. Receipts are, simply put, annoying.
Thankfully Nick Nelson, the Managing Director of VPS.NET, who struggles from the same disorder as I, recently found a new service that completely organizes your receipts for you, ShoeBoxed.com. I know, affiliate links are lame, but let me explain a little bit more. ShoeBoxed has not only helped me out tremendously (the accountants love me now!), but they’ve also setup an affiliate program with us. We’re not taking the cash and running with it though. Instead, through our Hosting for Good campaign we’re going to donate any money earned this month to The Rockstar Foundation. We love the Rockstar Foundation, which was founded by the creator of WooThemes, Adii Pienaar. The Rockstar Foundation is about changing the lives of young women by giving them the proper education they deserve. When we recently heard about the struggles Adii was having at raising funding to expand the program, we knew we had to help. Any money collected from the affiliate link this month will go towards the Rockstar Foundation, so we can help fund future operations.
Why not make friends with the accounting staff by using Shoe Boxed and help change a life by supporting the Rockstar Foundation?
