I am looking for a very basic software program or Excel spreadsheet template to handle the budget and accounting for a student organization. We need to keep track of about 15 events held throughout the year. Ideally, the software would allow us to keep track of our budget and itemized expenditures for each of these events in a variety of categories including food, office supplies, travel expenses, hotel expenses, etc. We also need to keep track of any revenue that comes in (only a few thousand dollars). Any thoughts on an inexpensive or free software solution?

I am looking into starting my own business and it seems that Quickbooks is the best available software for small businesses, but I would like to make sure. Please, share your thoughts on the subject.

Looking for a SOHO accounting software with some ideas about the business use of accounting.

I’ve used many accounting software programs and this is the most frustrating software I have ever used.

I’m planning to have my own small business selling beauty products online (not EBAY, I will have my own website). I won’t have any employee and it’s a home business (for now). I need a software that will keep track of my sales and expenses. Which software do you recommend? Thanks!

I am a recent college graduate and most positions ask that you know some particular software. Unfortunately, I have not used any accounting software. If anyone know of a free site I could download software or learn software please inform me.

I am wondering what the most widely used business accounting software is? Or which programs would be the best to know?

Some software include:
Adempiere
Compiere
LedgerSMB
phpCompta
phpOrganisation
Quasar Accounting
SQL Ledger
Tiny ERP
TurboCASH
osFinancials

Which of this is the best in terms of the easiest to learn, most popular and best for making reports such as balance sheets and cash flow statements.

Are these free software comparable to the retail software such as Simply Accounting and QuickBooks?
Quick Books vs. Microsoft Office Accounting?

Does MS Accounting have OS operational issues?
