Please share your thoughts on the following questions in this week's forum:

What would you say to fellow management team members in a meeting if you were working for a company that was designing software similar to what we are learning in this course (QuickBooks), and the management team decided that they could create it without the assistance of anyone in the accounting field?

How do you think accountants assist with testing the software before it goes to market?

How do you think generally accepted accounting principles influence how the software is developed?

A Business Development Manager works to improve an organization’s market position and achieve financial growth. This person defines long-term organizational strategic goals, builds key customer relationships, identifies business opportunities, negotiates and closes business deals and maintains extensive knowledge of current market conditions.
