Accounting Software?

Hey guys. It's the new year, and I really want to be better with my accounts this year... What do you guys use for accounting? Should I do a free/paid software? Or just suck it up and pay someone? What is best? 🙁
 
Quicken® works for USA/CDN personal stuff; online is Mint; might be able to adapt these to other countries but you would not get the ability to download transactions or local stock market stuff. Quicken even works well even for a very small business, but not robust enough for larger businesses.
 
For a business?

I use QuickBooks, but I also have a out sourced bookkeeper that helps out and checks everything over.
 
I have used Quicken for personal/home finance for years (after Microsoft Money went away 🙁 ). I keep renewing it every few years (if you don't then it stops downloading bank transactions) mostly because I have so many years of history recorded in its file. I'm not sure I'd start using it today.

For business, I use Quickbooks. Rather than hire an accountant, I decided to let Quickbook teach me how to set up a reasonably solid set of accounts when I started my consulting business. That has turned out to be a good decision (so far....).

There's also a mountain of youtube videos on using the various aspects of Quickbooks.
 
Look into gnucash. No artificial restrictions like Quick*. I'd use a pencil and paper before I gave that company a penny.
 
There's a new IM product coming out on Feb 15th which will show you the paypal fees. It's called PayDrill and is perfect for people like yourself.
