Feeling a bit blasé about the World Cup? If football isn’t your thing, never fear – as it’s time for sun, strawberries and set points as the All England Club opens its doors to the greatest tennis tournament in the world. And, although we say it every year, Britain just might have a shot at the title – this time, in the shape of World Number 4, Andy Murray.
If you haven’t been lucky enough to get tickets to see the tennis action in the flesh, you can of course keep up with all the latest score lines and follow those epic five hour matches which Wimbledon is famous for – as usual, it’s televised on the BBC. There’s just one snag. You’ve got it – the matches are staged during the afternoons, when most of us are cooped up in our offices. What’s a tennis fan to do? The answer, of course, is simple. Be smart and get yourself some quality ‘work from home’ time – courtesy of your online accounting software.
Accountants – set yourself free from the office and find some tennis time!
If you’re an accountant or book-keeper, one of the reasons you started working for yourself was to be more in control of your destiny – are we right? Sometimes, however, the hopes and aspirations we have when starting our own business get swallowed up. You CAN work flexibly and make the most of being self-employed – simply by ensuring that your working systems meet your flexible work requirements. That includes using online accounting software such as Fusion Accounts, which will give you direct, instant access to your records wherever you are, whenever you like.
We’re not suggesting that you down tools for a fortnight to cheer on your favourite tennis player – simply that you make the most of being able to work remotely by managing your time around the matches you’d like to watch! Of course, that’s made so much easier by being able to work from home, or indeed anywhere with a wi-fi connection. Why tie yourself to the office when working remotely is so simple and easy? You might even find that you get more done outside of the office!
Business owners – have a ‘tennis holiday’
We know that for small business owners or managers, it’s often difficult to be able to devote time away from the business to take a proper holiday break, particularly when you’re building a new enterprise. However, for your own good as well as for the business, it’s important that you have some time away from the grindstone to recharge and re-energise yourself – even if you can’t let go of the reins completely.
So, if tennis is your thing – or even if you’re just looking for a truly British way to relax during the summer – find yourself some ‘me’ time away from the office and in front of the TV to catch up on the latest happenings at Wimbledon. With your mobile and your laptop nearby, you’ll still be on hand to answer any key business questions if you’re needed – and during those inevitable ‘rain stops play’ moments, you can keep on top of your financial performance by checking your online accounting software. It’s always bang up to date and gives you an instant snapshot of your debtors, cash position and current turnover – without needing to request reports from your accountant or wait to be updated by staff. Online accounting software is a superb management tool which gives you true control over your business stats and is as flexible as you yourself have to be –so you can treat yourself to a little downtime in front of one of England’s finest sporting events without feeling down about stepping outside the business for a few hours!
