Which accounting software you use for bookkeeping?
I use QuickBooks which is hosted by the Intuit authorized hosting provider. I also have a good hand on Xero and Sage 50.Which accounting software you use for bookkeeping?
The fundamentals of accounting haven't changed since the advent of computers. Older software can just be--well, older. Most will be as fully functional as accounting programs as anything else.You did not mention your business. But if you are a service provider, I would suggest to go with a simple one. The older the software is, more complex it is. Because, older systems have been updated over and over again and maintained compatibility. Go with a cloud based system like Xero, Rewamil etc.
There are many good book keeping software solutions. I would recommend Quick Books, Xero or MYOB. I presonally prefer Quick Books. Some people however still employ Excel and I find that Quick Books is much easier for reconciliation than others.Which accounting software you use for bookkeeping?
Hands down this is the best advice in this thread. Couldn't have said it better myself (including the tool anaology).For a business just starting out with an inexperienced owner, I'd start with spreadsheets and a good bookkeeping class. Bookkeeping software is a tool - if you own a hammer, that doesn't mean you know how to build houses, and too many people get wrapped up in the software thinking that if they have the best software that will be a good substitute for actually understanding basic accounting. There is no substitute, learn the accounting first, then move up gradually to software with more and more features as you need them, that's what I have always done and I'd do it the same way if I had it to do over.
