It's late, I have to go to bed

But before I do I must tell you about Microsoft Accounting Pro. Call me crazy but I'm so excited to have discovered it. I have used Sage and Quickbooks and despise them both for their obfuscation and lack of beauty. But MS's Accounting software is just about perfect. My god, I even did a few journals in it today without screwing them up. I set up four currencies, just like that, and amended a template so it looks just as I wanted it - easily, in MS Word! It has an excellent help file. I can import all my contacts from Outlook, should I want to. And I think I've barely scratched the surface.

I heartily recommend that you check it out. There's a free trial should you want a tinker.

Five stars, two thumbs up, fine holiday fun.

Em, I despise Quickbooks too. Absolutely terrible program and horrible support. I find that choosing an accounting program is like picking a distributor. Once you've made your choice, it's very difficult to switch.

I haven't used MS Accounting Pro, but wonder if you've seen Xero. In short, it's an accounting package meets cloud computing solution. I use it and it's awesome. Plus, it's accessible across the web - so if you have a book keeper, they can access it from their office - no sending of files, etc.

There's a free trial for this too - I strongly urge you to take a look (no installation required either - bliss!).
