Just curious as to what book keeping program ya"ll would recommend that"s simple and easy to use. Reason I ask is I had always done everything by hand just because it was simple, until I got married and my wife introduced me to the Quickbooks program she had. It has worked OK for me for a couple of years but to be honest it"s way to complex for my needs and I"m not "complex" enough on the computer to simplify it own to do only what I need. Basically all I need is something to help keep up with billable hours, payments, past due accounts, etc. on the customer side of things and help keep up with general company expenses on my side of things. Ultimately as long as it makes getting things together at the end of the year for taxes easier it would be a good thing.
What I don"t need is alot of complexity added on the "customer side" where it is constantly asking if a part if from my stock, whether I want to "enter" every part I try to put on an invoice that was bought from a third party, etc, etc, etc. Basically all the stuff that Quickbooks does that is a major hassel and I haven"t been able to figure out how to get around/turn off/or whatever because I don"t need it.
That said I"m getting ready to have to get my computer repaired or replaced, due to what I"ve been told are probably motherboard problems. So I"m either looking for a different, simpler program to use in place of the Quickbooks or advice on how to dumb down Quickbooks to only what I need. Since it"s looking like I"m gonna be redoing my computer and it"s still close enough to the first of the year to get evetything setup without alot of hassle I"m looking to see what"s out there. If I"m going to make a switch I figure now is the perfect time so any advice on what programs are available that you guys use, and what you like or dislike about them, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
