Title: Advise needed on accounting software
Post by: mr D on October 06, 2010, 11:03:35 pm
Ok I'll admit I'm a lazy sod and really cant be bothered to read through the hundreds of threads regarding account/round keeping software.

So I'm asking you all if you have any to recommend?

Here's a 4th choice  ;D .
Use a spreadsheet and database (I use MSWorks).
If you can set up a spreadsheet etc. you will get more flexibility if you want to make alterations to your system later.  Also, support is pretty much guaranteed (not necessarily so with other software as they rely on the authors' wellbeing).
Yes it's harder to set up.  It may also be a bit more longwinded to maintain.  But if you can set it up, you can maintain it.  The way I've set it up it doesn't do absolutely everything but I can add to it/alter it in the future if I choose - without waiting for someone to update software.
After all, these other pieces of software are only spreadsheets/databases with a more user friendly front end.

Not used george but used roundtracker good and easy but very limited. If you want more than just a spreadsheet for all your work and you want to expand and grow and have a data base system that can expand and growwith you...winder cleaner pro is a must..whatever you need its got and more, only thing it doesnt do is go out and canvass for you.
It really is the dogs!!
