There are three off-the-shelf accounting packages that will allow you to report you sales and expenses with relative ease. They are:
Quicken™. This is a personal finance package that can handle most of the accounting that is required. The price is usually under $40.00 and is the leader in personal finance packages. If you have never used a program package to balance your checkbook and keep track of expenses, this is a great place to begin.
Quick Books™. This is the next step in tracking revenue and expenses. It handles payroll, depreciation and job shop accounting and sells for under $90.00 with a $25.00 coupon if you are upgrading from Quicken. If you have several employees, give this package serious consideration.
Peachtree™. This is a formal accounting package and can handle any tracking and reporting requirements you company may have. It retails for about $130.00.
You can see that for less then $100 you can automate your accounting.
