Best accounting software/method?

[PlexiHosting]

I know that the pat answer might come back as "QuickBooks" as that seems to be the popular choice in many industries, but I thought I'd ask what you all use for actual accounting software and/or methodology.

Yes, ClientExec and Modernbill do your accounting in a limited fashion, but they are more billing than accounting. I'm looking for how people do their profit/loss and balance sheets, and more actual accounting.

So, so you use QuickBooks? Peachtree? Excel spreadsheet? Just hire an accountant to do it for you?

I hire an accounts lady for the monthly stuff and an accountant to wrap things up at the end of each year for 3 very good reasons....

1. I hate paperwork and spending ?1000 a year to have it all done for me is great.

I had a look at quickbooks but it's for US businesses only - I'm in London, United Kingdom !

But it looks good!

Yeah, that seems to be the way I'm leaning - Quickbooks. Seems to be the best choice overall. Thanks for the input, all.

That's disappointing. However, personally I'd be using the installed app not the online version so I'm more disappointed on a matter of principle.

I have quickbooks installed through Crossover Office, works great
