Has anyone used QuickBooks, or similar?
If so does it make keeping track of expenses easier?I used Quicken for nearly 20 years (first on a Psion, then PC) until Intuit fucked it up and then sold it. While it worked it was good. I switched to AceMoney about 5 years ago which is slightly different but not really materially better or worse. To be honest, both have far more features than a simple sole trader needs, but they are easy to drive and much cheaper than corporation-targeted products like Quickbooks. If you start right, either will make keeping a record of income and expenses and then generating an end-of-year report to copy into your tax return a piece of piss.
