This graphic begins with a short background on the father of modern accounting, Luca Pacioli, who was the first person to describe the systems of debts, credits, journals and ledgers. Then it goes on to some of the more modern approaches to accounting as well as some facts and statistics on accounting technology and cloud-based accounting software. Oddly enough, some of the challenges that accountants struggled with before computers came into play are some of the same problems many of our clients continue to struggle with today. Manual entries, mistakes and “missing” money and tedious error-proofing are all too common today even though modern technology solves this issue.   **What to Do When You’ve Outgrown Quickbooks** ![sage 100 erp accounting software, sage 100 san antonio, sage 100 houston, sage 100 denver, sage 100 honolulu, sage 100 consulting, mas 90 accounting software, mas 200 accounting software, erp software packages](https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/what-to-do-when-youve-outgrown-quickbooks.png?width=576&height=299&name=what-to-do-when-youve-outgrown-quickbooks.png) #### Share this post with a friend or coworker! - - - - [mailto:?subject=How%20Technology%20Has%20Changed%20Accounting%20[Infographic]&body=https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/how-technology-has-changed-accounting-infographic](mailto:?subject=How%20Technology%20Has%20Changed%20Accounting%20[Infographic]&body=https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/how-technology-has-changed-accounting-infographic) ### Related posts ![Extend the Functionality of Your Sage Intacct Solution: Learn More at Wednesday Wisdom](https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/SI-Wed-Wisdom.jpg?width=200&name=SI-Wed-Wisdom.jpg) [Extend the Functionality of Your Sage Intacct Solution: Learn More at Wednesday Wisdom](https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/extend-the-functionality-of-your-sage-intacct-solution-learn-more-at-wednesday-wisdom) Mar 24th, 21 [Services Sales Tax Spreads Through States](https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/services-sales-tax-spreads-states) Feb 8th, 21 ![The Best Thing about Sage Intacct Budgeting and Planning?
