QuickBooks vs. Microsoft Money vs....?

[Evan]

I have always used Microsoft Money to run my business - accounting, invoicing, etc. It came with my computer when I got it and integrated well with my online banking system so everything is a breeze. It only takes 30-60 minutes every quarter to do the bookkeeping (keep in mind that I have a very simple business - no inventory, very little invoicing, I do all my payments by credit card, etc).

Is QuickBooks or Money the best accounting tool for small business owners? Or is there something even better?

Hi Evan,

Personally, I use Microsoft Money myself. I love the way it integrates pratically every area of my personal and business life. I haven't used Quickbooks personally, but it is one of the leading software programs small business owners use as I'm sure you know.

I have used Quickbooks and like it.

Frankly, I think they are both very similar. It's just the one you use first.

Well!

I was going to suggest that publishers would want to use Pub-123, which I used to use when I worked for a publisher a few years ago, but apparently Adams-Blake who did the software has now changed it to Jaya 1-2-3.

Any publishers here might want to check it out:

I haven't used it, obviously, but if it's as good as Pub 123...
