Thanks Rebecca. I’d make only a slight adjustment to your suggestion, which is that I suspect when you say “accountant” you mean “bookkeeper.” Could that be possible. I think of accountants as several hundred dollars an hour reviewing your bookkeeping and a bookkeeper as more like $20 an hour doing the actual data input work that you would otherwise do in software.

Thanks Tim. I loved this article (your “Don’t mess with the IRS line gave me a chuckle!). In my opinion, if you aren’t going to take the time to do your bookeeping properly, don’t do it yourself–hire an accountant. It’s as simple as that. No matter how advanced and “easy to use” it may be, there is no accounting software out there that can take your receipts and enter them for you. Bookeeping should not be taken lightly and while the software may seem more cost efficient, as the man in your article found out, an accountant would have been worth his weight in gold when all was said and done.

Re Allan Branch’s comment, for everybody else, from Tim.

I approved Allan’s comment reluctantly because it’s so close to plain spam. I think he looks bad to assert that his is the only web based accounting solution designed for small business, when the post itself mentions several others. On the other hand, letting it go means you can decide for yourself, so buyer beware.
