1068, Accounting software for service business
Posted by joseph_675, Mon Apr-23-07 12:24 AM
I'm working in Windows. I want a simple program that will produce accounting reports from my entries, as well as calculate business ratios., e.g. gross profit margin ratio. I do not deal with inventory, so don't need that aspect. I looked at a shareware prorgram called Instant CashBook 3 but it doesn't do the ratios. (Any other opinions on this program are also welcome.)

How big is this business?

A dynamic accounting solution could make the difference in a business start up truly gaining an advantage, or taking the dreaded plummet back to being employed under someone else. Microsoft is providing small to midsized businesses everywhere the opportunity to not only have an accounting system that is in line with issues such as Sarbanes Oxley, but will also give you the knowledge and business boost that systems like QuickBooks and Mas 90 will not.

Providing a scalable solution, so that when your business does grow- the software is ready, willing and able to grow with you. Whether your industry is finance, retail, not for profit, or professional services. we've got your industry specifically covered.

Have a look at www.integritymbs.com the certified Microsoft partner.

Test drive Quickbooks. I believe it will calculate the ratios and reports you seek.

One of my businesses is a cleaning service. I use a program called Simple Accounting. Works great and is easy to learn and understand.

Joseph,

I use Quickbooks Pro for my service business, that has grown into a service and products business ;)

For my clients, the type of program they use varies. I have a list of the accounting program my clients us along with links and other information at http://www.TheResourceQueen.com look under Accounting & CPA
