Perhaps I'm being optimistic, but I think it's time I kept better track of my business income and expenses.
I have been using Quicken Home & Business and maybe I've just not worked hard enough at it, but it seems to be a bit clumsy. I also have Microsoft Office Accounting. It offers lots of good stuff like direct links with PayPal, but it is not as automatic as Quicken in downloading transactions from my bank and reconciling them. Several additional steps involved. I don't find it easy to work with.
I know lots of people use Quick Books, and it seems as though that might be a good middle ground between the simplicity of Quicken and the vast array of options of MS Accounting.
For those of you tracking your business expanses - which product do you use? Or do you just throw everything into a shoebox and hand it to the accountant at the end of the year?
