simply accounting5
Very easy to use and set up. I have been using this system since 1994.

Seems OK, but ...3
I bought this when my Quickbooks 2000 started acting up (requiring me to press "enter" about 20 times to clear a cryptic message which objected that "another program is busy"). Simply Accounting seems to be an adequate alternative to QB, although it is less intuitive to use than QB. Perhaps this is just because I have grown used to using QB. My major complaint is that in order to be able to make adjustments to any invoice which has already been saved, you must have set up SA to use accrual- rather than cash-based accounting. QB has no such restriction. Since I use cash-basis, this is a major limitation. Because of this, I decided to resume using QB (after re-installing it, which eliminated the problem I mentioned). For the money, SA is a good product if the cash versus accrual issue is not a problem for you.

Not very impressed with Simply Accounting Basic2
I was hoping I'd like this more than the corporate bookkeeping system I currently use. We have an acccountant, but like to keep track of the day to day books and cash flow. I was hoping this would be a little easier on us (two of us handle bookkeeping and neither of us have a background in finance or accounting).

But I was really unimpressed. The templates aren't much of a help for our kind of business and there's not even a check register in the program!

Support is also pretty lousy. I know -- what can you expect for under $50, but I expected a flippin' check register at least!

While we will give this another try, I am more than likely going to go back to our old program and chalk this up to an unsuccessful adventure in our search for a good small business bookkeeping package.
