ok, So now everyone is promoting some accounting software

Is this allowed on this website?

you should describe your experience with some software not just copy/paste some ad's and links

Possibly because the OP Was asking what people used.

Solar Accounts

I have recently made the change to Solar Accounts which i found to be ideal for my requirements. It allows me to raise invoices etc, copes with VAT Flat rate and is very intuitive to use.

you can download a 30 day trial from http://www.solaraccounts.co.uk/

I have tinkered with it but not to any great extent, and it seems dog slow on the "Family" Vista PC. YMMV

I downloaded and tried it. Didn't like it. It was so slow I gave up long before actually doing anything useful. Personally I use Quick Books pro 2004. Seems to do everything I've ever needed, though if you are on the flat rate vat scheme it'll be a bit klunky.

It's not that good. I looked around and found Sage to be a lot easier to use.

PM me and I'll send you one.

[pleomax]

Thank you both for the quick replies.

Any pointers (Apart from google) where i should look for said spreadsheet?

Didnt even think of good old MS Money, that costs though and MS Accounting 2008 seems to be free for my basic needs from my playing with the test data they provide.

I use an old copy of MS Money for this kind of stuff. Not perfect but I have a pretty good system setup now and more importantly it can give me all the useful ad hoc/month/quarter reporting I need which my accountants don't provide.

[Alan @ BroomeAffinity]

If you are going to do your own year end probably Sage Instant Accounting would do the trick but you might need to know wht you're doing book-keeping wise. If you're intending to use an accountant at year end - And I would recommend you do - a simple spreadsheet would probably do the job.
