| 525525 | 2007-02-18 08:41:00 | Hey Does anyone know of a basic accounting software? Basicaly im self employed in the film industry .... so my account has personal and business stuff coming out of it. I dont need to keep balance sheets and everything, thats not vital, but what I need is a program to: *record paid invoices *record business expenditure whether it be by cash, visa etc. Basically just record every receipt i get. *the ability to run reports to figure out gst owed, tax paid and owed, etc. Just the bare minimum. I dont need it to track my bank accts, do cheque reconciliations, etc. Any ideas? everything out there is just so complex! |

| 525528 | 2007-02-18 09:27:00 | There is some free software here (http://www.ideawins.com/) from Microsoft. I think it is geared more to the American market but should still do what you want and it is free! |

| 525529 | 2007-02-18 18:35:00 | I've been using Excel to do that for years. Just set up a spreadsheet with whatever fields you want, I have it do calculations both across and down, to double check in case of typos. I have a column for GST, with the totals at the bottom. So all you need to do then is fill out the actual GST form with those totals, easy. |

| 525530 | 2007-02-18 18:57:00 | Excel is a bit of overkill isn't it? Simple Cash Book should do the job. You may need a Journal to record GST re-conscilliation. Very basic I know. |

| 525531 | 2007-02-18 20:40:00 | I have used Cashbook complete for many years after ditching MS Money and have no regrets. It does all that you require (and more). Free trial available from Acclaim website and is often on the PC World disc. |

| 525532 | 2007-02-19 04:26:00 | I've been using Cashbook for my business for a few years now. I think it costs around $240.00 if you want to use the full version,which includes GST etc. | Neil McC (178) | ||
| 525533 | 2007-02-19 06:42:00 | Excel is a bit of overkill isn't it? No because I've had it for ages and ages. So why go and buy some new program when I have one able to do the job? |
