💸 what software for your accounting?
by
maelus
Hey Indies, what software do you use / recommend for accounting?
I'm using FreeAgent, because it was provided by my accountant.
Ok thanks! Wondering - when did you start having an accountant? Speaking in terms of
business lifehaha (when you reached X amount etc?)I started right away really, I founded my company when starting a Software Development contract, so it made sense to have someone manage it for me.
Very personal idea... we tried different software (Italian-based startup) and always came back with classic Google sheet. I don't know if it's because of our madness or because we like to pain, but we strongly believe that if found a pattern or a framework through which to represent data, google Sheets or Excel wins over any competitor (unless you want automatic analysis).
Then I also think it all depends on the complexity of the data and the size of the business...
Maybe I was not helpful :) those are my two cents.
Haha interesting that you came back to the old good Sheet style. I'm also considering that at a point, or notion... But I guess it depends as well about the business - being
solopreneursome stuff like quickbooks etc feel overcomplicated related to what I need. Apparently even for some companies (ref to you ahah) Sheet is still viable, thanks for the input :DDon't know if it's the best or not, we use QuickBooks

Yeah heard of it, its part of the ones that often come back in the list online! Thanks 😊
One popular choice is QuickBooks. It's user-friendly and offers a range of features to help you manage your finances effectively. Another solid option is Xero, known for its cloud-based convenience and intuitive interface. Both of these software solutions are great for tracking income and expenses and generating reports.
