Mac Accounting Software

Tax return time looms, so I thought it was time to re-assess the way I keep track of my business finances. So, I have recently spent some time on the not very exciting task of finding some decent accounting software to help me keep track of my business income and expenditure. I just couldn’t find anything that would do everything I wanted it to:

  • Keep track of time I send on each project and bill accordingly
  • Print invoices, reminders and receipts for me
  • Allow me to customise those invoices etc.
  • Keep track of exactly what I earnt and spent on each project and within certain categories
  • Produce repts that I can use to fill in my tax returns etc.

I still haven’t made my mind up fully, but t looks as though I shall have to use a combination of either TaskTime4 or TimeNet to track the time I spend on projects and MYOB business basics to keep a track of the financial side of things. I’ll probably use TaskTime as I have been using it for a while already and have therefore already paid for it so no changes there, but MYOB should be a better option than manually producing invoices, receipts etc. and it should keep track of my finances better than the home-made FileMaker Pro database I have used in the past.

Of course, I’m still open to suggestions if anyone knows of a better solution.
