United States Department of Labor. Quitting Your Job To Start A Business. Two years ago, I quit my safe corporate job to build a company.

That piece of technology is a Quick Response (QR) code. All that’s needed is a smartphone or other mobile-payment device with scanning to supply the ability to use the codes. That’s why he prepared his own how-to on how accountants can use QR codes back in March. CFOs use the codes to measure hard-to-quantify elements of their marketing budgets, adds James Alexander, CEO of Vizibility, an online identity-management company that offers QR code services.
