Accounting software can streamline your business processes, support growth, and reduce mistakes. But how do you find the right one for your small business?

Regardless of the type of small business you own, your accounting needs to be accurate and reflect your business appropriately. Even if you have a great bookkeeper or accountant helping you organize your financial systems and tax filings, managing the ongoing accounting processes can be challenging. Accounting software can help you do it more effectively.

The idea of accounting software may be intimidating because there is always a learning curve. Using an accounting software program allows you to establish controls and access a detailed view of the financial health of your business whenever you need it. There are more software options than you can imagine, so identifying the right kind for your purposes is critical.

Memphis Dry-Rubbed Baby Back Ribs

Ingredients

• 2 (2 ½- to 3-lb.) slabs baby back pork ribs
• ⅓ cup kosher salt
• ¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon ground allspice
• 1 tablespoon Herbes de Provence
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar, divided
• 1 cup water, divided
• 2 handfuls wood chunks for smoking (hickory, oak, or pecan)

Directions

1. Pat both sides of slabs dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, remove thin membrane from back of each by slicing into it and pulling it off with a paper towel. (This will make ribs more tender and allow meat to absorb the rub better.) Combine salt, brown sugar, paprika, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dry mustard, chili powder, cumin, allspice, and herbes de Provence in a medium bowl. Rub ¾ cup mixture evenly over both sides of slabs, and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
2. Prepare a charcoal fire in smoker according to manufacturer's instructions, substituting a mixture of ¾ cup each of the vinegar and water in drip pan. Bring internal temperature to 250°F to 275°F, and maintain for 15 to 20 minutes. Place wood chunks on coals. Place slabs on smoker, meaty side up; cover with lid.
3. Smoke ribs, maintaining inside temperature between 250°F and 275°F, until meat is tender to the touch and pulls away from bones on the ends, 3 hours to 3 hours and 30 minutes. Remove ribs, and place on a baking sheet. Stir together remaining ¼ cup each of vinegar and water. Spritz or brush vinegar-water mixture on both sides of ribs to thoroughly moisten. If desired, rub remaining ½ cup brown-sugar mixture on both sides of the ribs. Slice ribs between the bones, and serve.
