Business software?
 

Is anyone using software to operate a small business that will keep track of a small inventory and do invoices and keep the books?? I am hoping this can be done for less than a small fortune!!?? Any suggestions out there?
Thanks

We use peachtree complete. It's acceptable at best.

Quickbooks Pro. After seeing my records using the software the IRS chose to not persue an investigation into my company about a year ago. The software will keep you honest (and safe) if you use it as intended.

My wife's company is using Quickbooks Pro. Seems fairly user friendly.

I looked at QB pro and P'tree but had issues with both. I had trouble with the inventory and order entry. I went with the Redwing Accounting software and use it for inventory control, invoicing, purchase orders and all accounting functions. I have been using it for about 4 years and just upgraded to the new Turning Point edition.

It will do inventory. You could probably download a demo at www.quickbooks.com

Been running Peachtree for 12 years. Started with Peachtree Complete when it was a DOS program and cost over $300.00. For the last 6 or so years Ive been using the Windows version that cost less than $100.00. It will do inventory, receivables, payroll and more.

Quickbooks Pro does a great job handling inventory. I've been using it in my business for 7 yrs now. Does everything I need. Payroll, invoicing, accounts recievable, accounts payable, taxes, bank balance, credit cards and so on.

There are Pro and Cons to both Peachtree and Quick Books. I have a buddy that uses Peachtree for his business. Does the same thing I do for a living. He has to back his company files up every two years. That's all it allows you to store on the program at one time. You don't have to do this w/ Quick Books. You can run this program continually forever without having to start over. I have seven years of business on mine and won't have to worry about ever doing this. I don't know if it this is just the version of Peachtree he has, or if it's the same for all versions.

I took a look at the Redwing site that Pachangapina mentioned... looks pretty good, but I will also look at the quick books as everyone has suggested.

Thank guys, appreciate the help..
