Does anyone know of any basic accounting software for new start up businesses

Posted by AWSG PM | on Wed, 11/01/2012 - 15:04 12547 37 comments | report

Does anyone know of any good, simple/basic accounting software which a start up business can use to record their receipts and payments before sending them to an accountant?

have tried excel but the formulas keep getting messed up when lines are inserted.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
