Just curious, who of you are using Quickbooks for your accounting software?
I would recommend it. Using QB can save you a lot on Accountant fees and give you instant access to vitals about your business. One of the best things about it is that you can use Intuit's credit card processing so you won't need to spend big bucks for a terminal. Finally, it's easy to lern and use.
Feel welcome to contact me if you need more info.
It would be nice if the POS would accurately report taxable and nontaxable sales, but we haven't found one to do that yet.
My accountant and I have been talking about switching to Microsoft Accounting which is set to compete with Intuit QB and will import all QB data as long as it is a verion of QB above Basics. It seems as though much of the accounting world feels as though Intuit/QB is "gettin to big for their britches" but no one is willing to jump onto another boat.

Just noticed that you are in Coeur d'Alene, visited last year while in the states for 6 weeks but Coeur d'Alene is a delightful place, am a new framer in england and also use QB for accountancy work but agree that the english version is becoming inflexible, silvercleave@btinternet.com regards to all Ian MMy accountant and I have been talking about switching to Microsoft Accounting which is set to compete with Intuit QB and will import all QB data as long as it is a verion of QB above Basics.

It may be the best since it is difficult to get people to try new things and then determine which is the best.
Microsoft has been a free download for over a year now.
We input our sales into QB as a single monthly invoice using the POS data and let QB do the sales tax calculations for us. It would be nice if the POS would accurately report taxable and nontaxable sales, but we haven't found one to do that yet.
Hey Rick, please let us know how the transition goes if you make the switch. I seems I'm not in the minority in my feelings about Intuit. I would love to dump the, but at this point they appear to have the best product and switching accounting packages has previosuly been nearly impossible. Intuit changes the file structure on QB with each new version to prevent product jumping.
