We use QS2 Never heard of it before to tell you the truth.... it's a bit of a pain sometimes but you can access on the net so it's good when your at home and need to reference something or are looking for a suppliers price.

When me and the ex mrs had the web design company we used quickbooks which was pretty easy!

I use Quicken 2004, its really good but now not made for the UK market anymore

I have a copy (and you can still get them on ebay the odd time)

The program is still relevant and prints out a 5-6 page report to let me fill my tax return out easily
It also lets me search for transactions (like when I bought piece of equipment for example)

i just use microsoft excel and do 1 sheet for each month for outgoings and 1 sheet per month for income.....takes me about 20 mins at end of each month to do both sheets.....then i just hand 12 months of each income and outgoings to my accountant with all my reciepts and he does the rest......charges me about £180 per year.

WOW ... that is pretty cheap, you must give me the name of your accountant. I am expected to input all the data into a spreadsheet, compile all reciepts in date and month order and he still charges me £700 ... I know it is a lot but that seemed to be the average rate where I am. I am also looking at some software only because i can do invoicing and other stuff with it. Maybe I should do what you do!


I know this thread is old but just thought a reply might help me.
