HELP!!!!! I need advise on which accounting software to use. I want a software which will help me over look all my business. I also want to provide payroll, a/p and a/r services to my clients and don't know which software to purchase. I need a program that I can use for me and my clients.

Your two most obvious choices would be QuickBooks or Peachtree. My understanding is that QB is
an 'everyman's' program whereas Peachtree requires a more sophisticated understanding of accounting.
We have used QB Pro successfully for years. The only downside is: Every 3-4 years they require you to upgrade.

QB offers payroll services. But so does Bank of America (if you bank there), and we find that is much less expensive. We use the B of A payroll services. Sign up as www.BankofAmerica.com

I'm hearing that Staples is having an unbelievable sale on QuickBooks Pro this week. Don't know if it's still on and/or available where you live. If you decide the QB route, check out Staples.com ASAP.

Here are some links to free and discounted QuickBooks Simple Start and QuickBooks Pro 2009 program downloads:

*http://quicken.intuit.com/online-banking-finances.jhtml?img=246&kbid=1550&sub=&priorityCode=3969702399"*>Quicken Online Edition – Free! (free Quicken Online edition)

Finally, here's the name of a good QuickBooks Certified Consultant and CPA, good friend, and frequent contributor to this forum. David aka Luckiest. If you decide to use QB, he can help you set up your chart of accounts and get up and running. Email pdeig@optonline.net

Good luck to you, hope this helps.

amspcs,

I thank you for your advise. I had QB in mind but didn't know if this was the choice to go with. Now, I'm feeling more confident.

If you are going to have multiple clients, then you want to go with a QuickBooks Pro or even Accountants Premier edition. You can go here and receive 20% off these or any other versions.
