    Can’t go wrong with Sage.

    All you need is the instant accounts version, can use it for all transactions including sales invoices.

    Been using easy invoicing for a while, only down side there is no expense part in the software at present, i looked at a few and this was the easiest to use for invoicing.JJ

    I use quickbooks 2006 regular

    As with all good accounting packages it takes a while to set it up but once up and running you would never go back.

    The only thing I find is that quickbooks 2008 is no good for my usage as the 2006 had stock control on it which is useful.

    I tried this (normally use Sage), it took about 20 minutes to install itself, and I got the distinct impression it was going to places in my computer that I didn’t want it to go, and was “calling home”!!
    Had a quick look at it, copied my data from Sage, but was not impressed, and spent the next HOUR trying to remove all traces of the Blo**dy thing!
    Sage loads in about 2 minutes and doesn’t screw up your computer, also, your accountant will most likely be using it as well, so you’ll be able to email him your backups for year-end etc.

    I also use Sage, have done for years.

    It’s simple once you get your head round it, it’s an industry standard and accountants, even the VAT/tax people don’t have any truck with it.

    The later versions are also pretty configurable to your needs in terms of output, including data through the ODBC thingybob.
