I made a post the other day about getting gopher, I'm still set on getting it, but I think I made a booboo, not sure.
I bought quickbooks pro, and after checking it out some I don't think I need it. The program seems way too complicated to me, first thing I thought was "if I don't even want to try and figure all this out now, how am I going to sit and enter info during the working season when I'm beat at the end of the day". I'm a solo op for now, I've used cheaper software for routing and it kept track of income and sales tax, thats all i used it for, then I did spread sheets for expenses. I'm still at that point where the paper work side of my business is simple. This makes me think quickbooks is too much for me now. BUT I do intend on getting a part timer maybe this year or next depending on growth.
Do you guys think I should stick it out and learn quickbooks or should I just use gopher for routing and keeping track of income, tax and expenses?
The only thing I like about quickbooks from what I'm gathering, is the fact that it will keep track of everything, from my checking and savings account, to income, expenses, and accounts payable even. It would be nice to have order over everything, but it seems like I'd have to invest alot of time into the program?
Thoughts? I'm just looking for some guidence I guess.
