Accounting Software

Scream · 29 Nov 2007 at 22:59

A client of mine is after software for accounting. I know nothing about accounting software so can anyone recommend a good program for the job.

He has a budget up to £1000 but the cheaper the better.

Cheers.

I will have to ask him but I think I remember him saying he hated the sight of it.

I haven't got speaking to the guy yet about Sage but I will look into Microsofts version which is interesting. The software needs to be able to do everything as he is his out on his own and does the books for businesses and on top of that, work for several departments including government in NI.

Cheers for the info guys.

I have been discussing the needs of the software with my client and I now know that he does not want bookkeeping software but infact he wants software that deals with 'Profit & Loss & Balance Sheets'.

So far it seems that Sage Accounts Plus covers that area and the likes of Sage line 50 etc doesn't do it as its bookkeeping based.

Does anyone know of other software that will cover Profit & Loss & Balance Sheets? Sage has bought out some previous software packages that did the job hence the difficulty in finding similar software now and my client doesn't fancy forking out £800+ if he can help it.

Cheers

Anyone with some recommendatons?

Do you happen to know which version does it as I am looking at them now and it doesn't exactly say that it covers balance sheets etc?

That will include balance sheets?

Your like myself then.

Just my client told me to go and find software that will do balance sheets and profit and loss. Not easy when you know nothing about accounts and you don't want the guy to pay hundreds of pounds on software that doesn't do it and doesn't do it well.
