Accounting Package

[Amateur]

After just setting up as a web development company, I am wondering what account packages to such use. I imagine nothing too sophisticated is required, just something for quotes, invoices and receipts, be able to keep track of income and expenditure, calculate VAT etc. Any recommendations for me for a package that would suit me? Something open source would be great as expenditure is tight starting off!

in 2000 when i started, i made one myself in excel and used it for about 3 years, then I needed something more professional so I got Sage.

If you have an accountant, you should use the package that he or she recommends. It makes things easier if your business grows.

If you don't have an accountant already I'd heartily recommend Teamwork:

They offer a full web based solution backed up by a team of accountants.
