| 209104 | 2004-01-21 08:19:00 | Greetings all I am currently looking at getting some sort of accounting software for a friend, but am a little perplexed as to which specific package they will need. The business is a sole trader, doing web based work. The software needs to be able to record transactions, and also print bills and receipts out as well as the usual reports, i had thought of MYOB , but there are quite an array of packages, so I am not quite sure which ones they will need. Any recommendations would be appreciated Thanks |

| 209106 | 2004-01-21 10:21:00 | The PC World magazine discs usually have Cashbook Complete on them that may be what you require. The Personal (home) version is free. | tommy (2826) | ||
| 209107 | 2004-01-21 10:33:00 | I use Cashbook and find it great. Haven't tried MYOB ,but have tried Home&Office as well as Quicken. Cashbook is the easiest to use. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 209108 | 2004-01-21 10:43:00 | NZHO32 v5 is a good small accounting software.... If you're wanting to steer away from MYOB (With such ugly invoices) then check out: www.xzact.co.nz Hope this helps Chill. |

| 209109 | 2004-01-21 12:50:00 | As a software package I would recommend Quickbooks but had what I thought was a bad deal where they behaved in an implacable manner. Quicken is more a personal package. I am about to investigate a few Linux packages | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 209110 | 2004-01-22 04:08:00 | As an accountant i would recommmend MYOB, quickbooks isn't too bad either, but to any SME's we recommend MYOB. If your unsure what you need, ring MYOB and ask them. It's a well rounded package, has great support. And if your using an accountant it will help reduce your fees when it comes to preparing the statutory accounts. |

| 209111 | 2004-01-29 02:40:00 | Hi, I would recommend QuickBooks Lite for a small business. It includes Invoicing, Customer Statements, Tracking Supplier Invoices, Bank Reconciliation, Cash Book - all in one. Great Price. Can be purchased from Quicken www.quicken.co.nz or from an Accredited Trainer (also see their site). Great product - easy to use. |

| 209112 | 2004-01-29 03:57:00 | You can easily customise MYOB Invoices, add logos, change the layout, font, detail etc... MYOB is great! | Marlboro (4607) | ||
| 209113 | 2004-01-29 04:59:00 | I've used QuickBooks for several years and found it pretty good but, have gone of the product. I found their support patchy and diffident in the early years (diff people than now I think) and neglected to upgrade (read pay) for a new version because i thought I should get a bit more use out of the version I had before having to pay for another. The upshot is that my version is no longer supported and I refuse to move to the new one that contains activation software and what IMO amounts to spyware (not necessarily removed when the program is uninstalled). What do I use now? My wife uses an old fashioned lined cash book that you write in, scary stuff I know but it actually works, amazingly. Mind you the type of business I have now is much simpler than that of the past. Basically an hourly rate with a few disbursements and the odd reimbursement and its done. Cheers Murray P |
