Quickbooks and Kashflow are good. We personally recommend Xero because of the ease of use.

One of the most popular accounting software forum questions I come across is 'what is the best accounting software product?' The short answer is - it depends on your business. It is not surprising to see that every time this question is asked there is never a 100% conclusive answer. As with this thread there are many different small businesses that have recommend many different products. The reason is because all businesses are different and every business has a slightly different requirement from their Accounting Software. Software companies realize this and this is why we see so many different forms of bookkeeping and accounting software in the market that have a variety of features and benefits. Accounting Software comes in all shapes and sizes from basic bookkeeping software to extremely complex accounting software packages that account for extremely complex company financial company structures including payroll. You should think about the main requirements you are looking for your Accounting Software package to deliver and then search for a product that meets your needs specifically. There are many websites on the net including ours that can provide useful tools to small businesses looking to either decipher their software needs or find the perfect product.

Whatever you do - Don't just buy a product because somebody has recommended it or you have heard of the brand. this leads to small businesses buying expensive feature rich software that they will never fuly utilize. Do your research and buy a product that has been designed to meet the needs of your business. There is no point buying an expensive Sage solution if you are only looking for high level bookkeeping product. Equally if you are a business that would benefit from logging into your accounts from different locations you should be focusing on online software package rather than desktop. There are many different features and benefits to accounting products which means there is no standout product - There only exists the best product for your business needs.

Mind Your Own Business or MYOB.
Great Australian Product. Do they have that in the UK? Probably not.

Thought MYOB had gone pop? Didn't they sell up to Mamut Software years ago? Unless they have been reborn in Oz?

This is definitely one of the questions that you come across a bit of Accounting sections on a number of forums.

Hi! How is Quickbooks and Kashflow different in terms of user-friendliness?
