Accounting software for contractor

I've been using http://www.manager.io for a little over 14 months now. LOVE IT.

I've an accountant but I like to have an idea of where things are at for my own self sake. It has a decent active support community and is constantly updated. If there's something missing or you don't understand the developer will likely update if there's enough support.

Also... it's free!

There's no chance (in my view) you'd be able to get looked after properly for this. I reckon it costs £500-£600 to look after a contractor client. Either you've got a huge year end bill coming or you're not getting looked after properly.

I am very happy with the support I get, I get monthly/quarterly and annual support around PAYE, VAT and annual returns.

yes I do some leg work, but the support and year round free advise I get is excellent.

Its not posh, or flash, but it works and is very good value. If anyone wants the details please feel free to message me, as this thread wasn't made about recommending an accountant.

Thanks for the links - perhaps I will invest a little to allow me to save some time, and keep more on top of things. Ref the open source option - that would be great if I was just starting out, but having used open source stuff before, sometimes it doesn't quite meet the needs, and then moving from it to something else would gobble even more time.
