You'll either love it or hate it. I use it for personal accounting.

Wife is a CPA and uses it for small businesses.

With all of these recommendations you'll need to investigate feature sets and compare to find what you need. The only feature that SAP doesn't have is the feature that doesn't bankrupt you paying for the software.

You may want to check out WorkingPoint, as a good small business alternative to QuickBooks. It's actually designed specifically for small business owners where the owner is doing the books (instead of an accountant). And unlike most of the competitors, it handles both invoicing and accounting. Bonus: It's got a free version, and even the paid version is only $10/month.

Does anyone know if any of the small business programs (not personal finance) allow for the user to enter single transactions for the software to take care of the double-entry accounting automatically?

Or do all the small business programs require the user to perform the double-entry accounting manually?

I am trying out the Nolapro program and find that I now need to remember how to perform my own double-entry accounting. I am wondering if anything else is easier or if they are all like this.
