Sales Accounting Software?

Take a look at sage , it could be right for you.

Try AccountEge it use to be MYOB (My Your Own Business). If you are in the USA. Covers all basic accounting and payroll.

I have used Sage, Quickbooks and MYOB in New Zealand and all worked quite well. This was some years ago now.

I liked MYOB in the manufacture-accounting environment because of how I could export things into MSExel and create very specific and graphic reports. It allowed me to pull figures for one product line so I could demonstrate its progress (or lack there-of) to the managing director.

If you want to hook up your inventories to your invoicing system, you may want to check that the package you choose does that. We ran our systems without that, due to the very ‘fluid’ nature of our inventory. haha (one client was a brewery and two other clients were juice factories..) We kept track of our inventory in a separate system, and our asset register in the on-site system was only a guide for our accountants to create the more accurate one that went into our annual accounts.

(I need a job, can I come work for you?) only joking. I don’t live in the US.

I get the impression looking through want ads for accountants here locally that Quickbooks is the accounting software package of choice for small businesses.
Quickbooks has come a long way. They have industry-specific versions . My daughter is a church administrator and she uses a package set up for houses of worship. It tracks contributions, prints annual receipts to give to congregants, track the taxable and non-taxable portions of income for the pastors, it does a lot.

If you are using a CPA to work with you setting up the company or at least doing your tax returns I would go to her and get her recommendation as to which package she likes to work with. He can help with set-up, preparing a chart of accounts, etc.

You will also find with Quickbooks that there are many local “consultants” who can work with you to create forms, especially invoices and packing slips. You will also find that there are many sources for Quickbook-compatible forms like checks available on the internet.
