What are you guys using? I’m starting my own business and have limited knowledge of this type of software. I’ve used quickbooks (at previous job)and it does everything I need it to do. Wondering if there are any other options out there.

Software needs to keep customer database, checks in/out, payroll, manage business accounts with vendors, and possibly credit card (may just do old fashioned way here). Would be nice if it could keep track of what I’m paying out on parts and other inventory as well.

Thanks  
Pat

i believe mas90 does this (sage), but it’s not cheap. it will also act as an inventory manager

mas90 is WaaaYYY overkill for what he needs. We also use mas90, it has features up to wazoo. Not that I’m the expert but quickbooks seems like a viable solution. at least in the early year 😉

We used Microsoft Dynamics GP in one of my accounting classes last year. Once again, might be considered overkill depending on the size of the business.

Speaking of overkill we use Hyperion with Essbase and PeopleSoft.
