[comp.sys.mac] Accounting package for small business

sysop@stech.UUCP (Jan Harrington) (10/31/88)

The time has come for me to get a real accounting package for the business
that I run out of my home. I'm looking for something that doesn't "hide"
the double-entry bookkeeping, like many personal finance programs, but
that still isn't enormously complicated and powerful. I need general
ledger, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Of course, it has to
run on the Mac.

What do people recommend? I'm no accountant, and reading the advertisements
hasn't made me any wiser...

I've been using "Rags to Riches" by Chang Labs for the past 6 months without
a problem. It's relatively inexpensive compared to "Insight", and supports
double-entry bookkeeping. I purchased the G/L, A/P, A/R and professional billing
packages for less than $300 from MacConnection. One caveat: Rags to Riches
doesn't work properly with Suitcase installed.
