re: re: ANY GOOD ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE? |

Hi All:
I think the question is somewhat backward. In my experience, most commercial software is viable and capable of performing the tasks required to organize a small business's books, keep accurate records, produce the required financial statements etc.
However, as with most good TOOLS, the value of the tools is not intrinsic to the tool, but rather depends on the skill, experience and expertise of the professional using the tool. One of my personal pet peeves is the dependence we have developed on technology to replace or diminish the value of expertise.
I would frame the question more along the lines of:
Does anyone have any recommendations for good financial and accounting professionals who can provide the expertise and experience we need to manage and grow our business?
That should come first, whether it is for hiring an internal CFO, finding a CPA/CPA Firm that fits your needs and/or finding the right consultant to help frame your needs so that you and your accounting professionals can make a technology choice that is the best fit for you and your company.
I also think it is important to look at more than just the selection and implementation of a software solution, but also consider the needs and flexibility to provide the best information that will allow you to make good decisions on a continuous basis as you manage the growth of your company.
