Bluesalt Swim School

Making payroll and compliance simpler with cloud accounting

“Make your life easier; business is hard enough already. Reckon One is easier.”

Melina Grusbesic

Establishing shot of the business

“We have over two thousand kids enter our door weekly, and it’s super busy; it’s also super rewarding.”

INTRODUCTION

Taking the plunge: From swim teacher to business owner

Melina Grusbesic, alongside her husband, has owned Bluesalt Swim School since 2010.

At her swim school, Melina and her staff help kids learn the fundametals of swimming and water safety. 

What makes Melina especially proud of her business is the customers, her clients. Melina has not only had the privilege of teaching a generation of kids, but has also hired and trained staff to teach a new generation.

THE CHALLENGE

When desktop software starts holding your business back

With the daily challenge of juggling multiple responsibilities, Melina needed software that could keep up with running a business and managing the books.

Using desktop software meant she couldn’t always access the information she needed when she needed it, and staying on top of all her duties meant time and flexibility weren’t on her side.

Melina needed to move to cloud software.

But when it came time to upgrade, Melina’s biggest concern was ensuring sensitive business data transferred safely to the cloud without disrupting day-to-day operations.

“In the migration of going from desktop to cloud software, I was actually worried about losing all the sensitive data and having to sit there and input all that data back again.”

“I come in, I set up, I teach, I reconcile bank accounts, I do all of that stuff.”

“It automates my bank fees and my bank reconciliation, and it’s just so much easier.”

OUR SOLUTION

“It was fast, and it was all ready to go within twenty-four hours.”

Moving to Reckon One was a success and smooth sailing, giving Melina the flexibility to manage accounting anywhere. The migration process was completed quickly, allowing Melina to continue running the business without interruption.

“Now I can bring my laptop anywhere I go.”

Today, Melina doesn’t have to worry about updates or tedious desktop software admin; she can focus on growing her business.

“You have more time to work on your business, not in your business.”
