MIS and My Career

  1. Simply Accounting: It helps a business manage all the accounting transactions e.g. Cash flow, Invoicing, etc. It even helps the business to keep its business affairs in compliance with the set accounting rules. 
  2. QuickBooks: It is easy to set up and organize a business efficiently. It helps save time and keep all the accounting data at one place.
  3. TurboTax: this information helps perform all the taxation tasks. It makes it easy to prepare business taxes. Instead of, hiring some accountant to do it for the business. Hence, saving money.

BUSINESS LEADERS I ADMIRE

I am a big fan of Steve Jobs. His journey from scratch to building a huge company is very inspiring. People like him are an ideal for this generation. His hard work and dedication  took him to the new heights which is not possible for everyone. I would be more than happy to get a chance to work for such a reputed company and great people like him.
