What software do you recommend?
I recommend the QuickBooks computer software to all of my clients.
Do not use Microsoft Excel software for bookkeeping. It was not designed for this purpose.
QuickBooks has many advantages:
-
Most clients already have the computer hardware.
-
Inexpensive software.
-
Widely available in office supply stores, computer stores, and software dealers.
-
Most common software in use in America today.
-
Easy support from local bookkeepers, friends or relatives.
-
Very short learning curve.
-
Easy error correction and reclassification, if/when necessary.
-
Easy and efficient communication with your accountant at tax time.
-
Saves time preparing information for tax accountant.
-
Strong, clean documentation in the unlikely event of an IRS or state audit.
-
Good management information system.
-
Easy reports show year to date, comparison to last month, quarter, year.
-
Taxpayer can do it themselves, or easily find and replace bookkeepers to maintain the system.
