Hey there everyone!
So last night I was discussing finances and accounting with my father-in-law. I know, what a blast! The great thing about him though, is that he is old school. This guy has has his complete track record written down to the last penny for the last 30 years! And it all checked out!
Of course he understands that he needs to go electronic and we began that discussion as well. The conundrum is they are on PC, I am a Mac baby, and their business is completely different to mine, (travel agent-anyone need somewhere to go let me know, I’ll hook you up), so the discussion of expenses, checks, taxes, etc. left me a little confused to say the least.
I have recently gotten myself a small business accountant, nice guy. But I am a little confused as to what accounting software I’m going to need to get to help keep everything in order. When it comes to figures and finances, I’m a little bit out of my depth.
So far I’ve heard “Billings 3″ is good out of the freelancer accounting software out there. Though the other day I found something called, “AccountEdge 2009″. This one seems to be fairly comprehensive and is aimed at small business’s but there’s a roughly $200+ difference.
My question to you all is this, what should I really be using? What are most of you using? I would certainly appreciate any help I can get on this one.
Thanks in advance, your comments more than welcome!
Have a look at freeagent central it’s web based very slick and easy to use
we started using it a couple of months ago and has been the easiest accounts package to pick up I have ever used
