Accountancy software: some advice...
well, my own business has been going for 5 months now and already my atempts to manage my accounts using excel have left me with a mess of paper work!
so i need a simple to use account software package. small business (its just me), simple to use, UK-localised.
on one hand my accountant uses Sage, so as I have virtual PC should i get a copy for that? or should i just go for MYOB??

its PC only in the UK...
Then for some inexplicable reason, the company bailed out of Canada and sold us over to Intuit Canada. IC is now selling a re-badged version of MYOB as Quickbooks Accounts.
The strange thing is that it couldn't have cost that much to modify the US version for Canadian companies, basically different taxes are the only major changes I know of.
I would hesitate to advise anyone to go with MYOB, only because when such a company has to bow out of one of the world's ten largest economies (and one half full of lawyers and accountants!) - it can't be a good sign.
my accountant uses sage, but he used to deal with a few mac users and knows MYOB. well, he remembers enough to be able to deal with it (and then feed it into sage i guess).
but MYOB in the UK seems to be lagging behind the US version. There is no QB for mac UK version.
So maybe it might have to be Sage running on virtual PC...
gawd help me!
