Accounts packages advice
Can anyone recommend a straight forward to use accounts package that is suitable for a UK company and the UK taxman.
I'm quite happy with numbers, just things like eventually having to deal with VAT returns makes me a bit giddy, so the easier to use the better. So far, Ive been told Sage is too complicated, but quickbooks is easier to understand. Any good/bad experiences with quickbooks, or other alternatives?

Hi Paula
Personally I /we use Quickbooks - find it fairly easy to use, like any package though it has its draw backs but would be fairly happy to stick my neck out and recommend it

Another option
Although I havent used it myself, I've heard lots of good things about KashFlow Accounting software.
Its supposed to be very user friendly, and you can also download a free trial, so you can try it out first. Small Business Accounting Software - Mac and Windows

Hi Paula
Funny enough I am going through the same process at the moment. I have got an appt booked with a sage bod on Monday for a demo. I will report back with my findings

I should have also added. have a chat with your account and see what they are using and make sure that you can export your accounts in order for them to undertake your year end.

No point going through all the pain to find out your accountant has never heard of your package! I suppose this is where the likes of Sage and Quickbooks win as they are pretty universal.

I have used Quickbook Simple Start for around 4 years now. It's the best £42 I spent. As the name suggests, it's simple to use.
