BodeTree LLC Releases Small Business Financial Performance Application for Quickbooks

Aug. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Software startup BodeTree LLC has officially rolled out its main product at Intuit’s App Showcase Competition: launching a Web-based application that allows small businesses to track their financial performance, forecast future revenues and earnings, determine company value and measure how they stack up against the competition.

The software - which works with QuickBooks for Windows and is available via Intuit’s Workplace (http://workplace.intuit.com/bodetree) – provides owners with the tools they need to develop a clear strategy, understand what really matters, and track actual results.

Best of all, small business owners aren’t required to have a finance background or be particularly fluent with numbers to use the application. BodeTree’s approach is straightforward and intuitive. That sets it apart from other programs on the market, which are often complicated, expensive and relatively inaccessible to users who don’t have a deep understanding of finance. Additionally, educational content is embedded throughout the app so business owners know what they should focus on, what it means and how they can modify areas of their business for optimum performance.

“Over 50% of small businesses in this country fail in the first five years.  It’s time that changed,” said Christopher Myers, co-founder and CEO of BodeTree. “Small business owners need a solution to help them make better decisions and optimize their performance.  That’s why we created BodeTree, a simple and intuitive way to develop your strategy, understand what really matters, and track your performance.”

BodeTree’s Web-based application leverages the power of the Intuit Partner Platform to make the setup and sync process easy, fast, and secure.  Businesses can get started quickly and effortlessly.   From there, users can access a host of strategic and financial tools that in the past were available primarily to just large companies.

The software helps business owners in several key areas:
- Strategy: Users can develop a strategy, set targets, track performance and get a concise snapshot of how these elements interact to carve out a path forward.

- Valuation: BodeTree’s unique software helps owners estimate the true value of their business and monitor it over time via a customizable “ticker.”

- Reports: Businesses can generate professional, eye-catching and fully customizable reports in a flash for bankers, investors, attorneys, accountants and employees.

- Forecasting and financial documents: Owners can create a variety of important documents, from financial projections to balance sheets and cash flow statements.

- Competitive analysis: BodeTree instantly compares a company’s performance to industry benchmarks and helps owners identify their strengths and weaknesses to gain a competitive edge.

- Education: Users can learn about important financial topics and terms as they encounter them via a unique learning system, ensuring owners understand the concepts that impact their business.

BodeTree is currently offering a free three-week trial for its software application. After that, it’s just $19.99 a month, no contracts or long-term commitments required.
