Bookkeeping Software

[Jim Brennan]

Just wondering what kind of software people use for business (and maybe home) bookkeeping.

I've been doing it by hand for years by compiling my invoices (I use Mac Freelance for that) and receipts and I'm thinking of moving into the 21s century.

Tips?

I use TurboTax online, so I created spreadsheets that fit the pattern of the forms TT needs/asks for. I started with the basic Profit & Loss Statement and expanded from there. TT basically follows the P&L structure anyway. That way, come tax time, I already have the numbers to plug in.

I looked at buying TT, and it was just way more than I needed.

Excel and Quickbooks for tracking $$$.

We have a good accountant and therefore let him do our taxes.

I use TT for our taxes every year (can't imagine not having that tool), I didn't know that they did regualr bookkeeping.

Quickbooks has been recommended to me before, but I haven't had a chance to check it out or compare it to Quicken.
