I`ve been using Quick Books Basic since 2002.Its my check book,every time I write a check,you must assign it to an account. You`ll have dozens of accounts,materials,molds,telephone,utilities,just to name a few. You can always go back and do reports to see where the money went. You can track your expenses with a click of the mouse.You can do all your billing,even file your taxes. Makes my accountants job very easy. I took a class when I got started,I also had someone install it on the computer for me. I run an Auto Body Repair shop,and write many checks,I just feed the blank checks into the printer,and click on check,one pops up. You start to fill it out,and with a few letters the name or account fills in before your done typing.With a click of the mouse,I can see what I spend on paint & materials,parts,heat & lights,it does everything.There is a learning curve,you`ll need someone to answer questions.Go for it.
