Yeah that's actually the best tool you can use a pen and a paper. Because you can easily write down all of your expenses and revenues in order to manage your finance every month

Hope this was sarcasms.. You dont know how many times i had to rewrite it down because i had lost it...
Lol, that's a different problem. And you don't have to keep the paper all the time with you. I was just saying to use it in order to have a better and bigger picture of what's going on with your finance.

My current back provides couple of tools to provide graphs based on the income and expenditure.

So, I usually don't go with any third party tools. As soon as I log into my net banking application, all the tools are available and there are no popups either. I would suggest others to first make use of such tools before opting for third party services.
It's better to be safe than sorry.

Some softwares will do it for you flawlessly, unfortunately I am not an accountant to prescribe one for you but I could find out from my friends if you're really interested.

I don't have an particular app or tools that I use to budget my money. If it's not that much, I can just calculate it in my head. However, if it's monthly budgeting that involves quite amount of money and lists of expenses, then I would need a paper, pen, and a calculator.

A number of new company directors, particularly sole owners, often neglect to divide their bank accounts, bookkeeping and other expenditure between their personal finances and business finances, with inevitably leads to problems later on down the line. The confusion arises as to how you separate what you owe with your business tax and income tax individually.

If you have an accountant at your disposal, then you should maximise their worth by utilising them at all times. If used well, accountants can be an excellent means of shielding you from any tax and financial problems at a later stage , and can undertake the process of keeping your company’s finances in check on your behalf, so that you don’t have to.

I keep account of all the inflow and out flow of my business and for the past 10 years I can give account of my business with no sweat. It even helps me to track back to some sales I made over a specific time should I be needing such services to tend to a customer. These accounts are also properly catalogued.

I'm not quite acquainted with budget root, but I have heard positive reviews about it. I'm sure a lot of people still do it the old fashioned way, also you can make use of a financial audit company, or better still have an accountant in that business.
