Easy Bookkeeping System

[cpadan]

I use EasyACTT Business Systems which was developed by Tax And Accounting Software Corporation (TAASC). Not sure what the current cost is, the update is $240 a year and includes GL, AP, AR, PR, DEPR.and Amort.

You can setup departments and print statements for each as well consolidated. It also has a working trial balance feature and is great for entering AJE's. (and faster than QB Outwest!)

I was concerned when TAASC was bought out by Intuit in 2001 that they might dump it, but they have updated and improved it over the years.

Excel

One thing about Excel: it doesn't scare the client as much as QB or another accounting software. The clients you are discussing have never tried an accounting software, but Excel might be bundled with their computer and they might have been using it for other purposes or their kids using it for homework or.... If anyone wants to email me, I'll email back an Excel workbook my boss put together for these types of clients. Has a pretty simple Expenses page that lets them enter the things they paid for by cash, those they charged on their personal card, checks, everything, and gets them to a basic P&L on another sheet. It even includes a sheet for payroll, has a column for sales tax on the Receiveables sheet, lots of bells and whistles that a client can completely ignore if all they need to do is track their expenses.
