As a startup founder, you can be sometimes forced to do it all. With so many things to be taken care of, it is of vital importance to be a master at efficiency. Here are 30 online tools that I’ve compiled that might help boost your productivity.

Accounting

1. Freshbooks

Saves you two precious days per month dealing with confusing accounting tasks. This cloud-based software is one of your best options for cost-effective invoicing. Your startup can create sleek invoices, track time, log receipts, and invoice clients with this useful tool.

2. LessAccounting

If you are running a small business with no financial books, you can now look forward to doing less accounting. Your bookkeeping schedule may be far less painful with this tool. It also appears to be more compatible with startups than big corporates, as they provide mostly only features necessary for startup founders.

3. Brightbook

Take time off bookkeeping with this free, nifty tool. Your startup can use this online accounting tool without the complicated clutter. It’s especially helpful for startup founders with zero accounting experience.

Analytics

4. Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools

Get valuable insights about your website’s performance, traffic, referrals, and conversion with these mighty online marketing tools. Keep monitoring your website in order to make it Google-friendly.

5. Mint

For a startup founder looking for simplicity in analytics, try Mint. Mint is a self-hosted website analytics program where you can analyze visits, referrers, popular pages, and searches at a glance on its flexible dashboard.
