My advice is as seasoned Quickbooks user is to use it from day 1, it is a simple package to get to grips with and can be used as the business grows.

I have just upgraded from Quickbooks 6.0 which I've been using since
1999 to Quickbooks 2004 (which I bought 2 years ago and couldn't face the upheaval of switching mid way through a year.)And discover that Quickbooks 2004 (pro) does have a mileage tracker.
One should be able to get an e-bay copy of it for a reasonable price I'd have thought.
phew!
I wonder what's the payback time ;-)
If you get into the habit of using one bank account for everything related to the business, your monthly statements *are* your books and you don't have to lift a finger or pay a penny.
Indeed, but it's interesting to see daily in/outgoings and, for me, the breakdown of expenses and income. Smart Accounts does that - according to what I want and controlled by me. I love looking at the pie and other charts :-)
There are features others may like but I don't need them. A simple in/out and categorised system is all I need or want, it cost me about £20 some years ago and nothing since. I could use it for multiple accounts but I don't.
It's good.

I suppose one forgotten and uncollected invoice could easily be five or six times that.
Getting the figures wrong and being penalised or prosecuted by the tax authorities could be many times worse.

I paste all my online bank statements into Excel so I can look at it any way I choose. This has the advantage that I never have to manually enter anything. Shame I didn't get time to organise such an elegant system when I was actually making some money :-)
Well yes, but there are less expensive solutions!
Mary
Can you come round and do use a job, and forget about the invoice.
If you are running a business and not know about a uncollected invoice of £250, you should be ashamed of yourself.
So you are doing the tax man out of his 3 pennyworth, by not collecting.
I suppose you put it down to bad debt at the end of the year. Or are you that bad that you have a sales that has not been closed ??
That's what accounting systems are for...

I use Prophet3 which is for an Acorn machine and designed for non accountants. I believe it's now been ported to PC - or perhaps some of their other products (Personal Accounts Home Business) are written from the same direction. And it's a UK company you can easily access for help.
The message from Owain contains these words:
Yeah, but a notebook with invoices ticked off as they're paid will work just as well for that particular problem.
I use MYOB, it's very good for the money.
:¬)
One would hope so.
If you use a computerised package make sure you can delete and alte transactions without leaving a trace

Which one do you use???
What do you mean? Hide things from the tax man? Heaven forbid!

If you CAN delete and alter transactions without leaving a trace then it is a rubbish accounting package. I spead as an accountant, auditor and teacher.
