    What are you using for your Canadian Accounting Software?

    I've heard quickbooks is a good software but curious what other Canadians are using.

    Thanks Mucho...

    Check out Gnucash it's available through portable apps as well so you can carry it on a usb thumb drive. Open source and you can import quickbooks files, very intuitive.

    I use my fingers (don't make enough to need my toes yet) :D :D :D

    Anyway, Diane (she's an accountant) just said to use Quickbooks Canadian version.

    Quickbooks for Accounting all the way! I've used it for a couple of businesses already and is even recommended by my accountant.

    I've used Simply Accounting in the past, but they no longer do a Mac version. Have been using Quickbooks for 5+ years and I really like it. Much more user friendly than Simply and good selection of reports built in.
