subject: What Software Do You Need For Your Small Business by:Jeff Schuman [print this page]

When running a small business there can be several jobs and

tasks to take care of. Obviously knowing where the money is

coming from and going is essential to running your business.

That's why it is good to find out which small business

accounting software is best for you to help you run a well

organized and efficient small business.

There are hundreds to thousands of small business accounting

software out there to help you with reports and tools needed to

use your financial data. Depending on the one you go with will

depend on how much you're going to pay for it. The more you

pay, the more accessories and programs there will be that come

with it. Some come with a billing and time module, various

amounts of financial and management reports, and more. You can

choose to get it in different editions from basic, online, pro,

or premier for your computer.

One small business accounting software that is recommended is

the 2005 Peachtree Complete Accounting. This is a multi-user

ready system that provides you with all the features needed.

You'll have features including in-depth inventory, job costing,

time and billing, fixed assets and more. With all these great

features the price of this runs between $165-$290 as it is sold

by different merchants. You can shop for this product through

the different merchants here:

Another feature that is offered with certain software is the

capability to scale as your business grows. That is just one of

the many features that the high end Microsoft Business Solutions

Small Business Financials North America Edition offers. Also

included in this program is the capability of keeping record of

financial management, sales, purchasing, inventory, payroll, and

reporting. This is software that will easily allow you to run

an organized small business and keep track of the people in it

and all of the numbers associated with running a small business.

This software will give you everything that you'll truly need.

With this high end software is a hefty price as it runs between

$995-4,500, so you'll have to decide how big your small business

is going to get. If you're going to be running a large small

business, then this will be worth it to help keep track of all

the payrolls and inventory and more. On the website listed

below, you'll also see a free 60-day CD demo that you can try it

out first to see if you like it.

There is plenty more software to choose from, but there's a high

end software and a cheaper software to check out. If you go to

http://www.2020software.com/default.asp you'll find a list of

what this website claims the top 7 software out there. Included

on this list is the Microsoft software I have briefly talked

about just above.

This list is going to consist of the more expensive software out

there. All of the software on the list is priced at above

$1,000 with some of them reaching the $100,000 mark. While it

is pricey, it will install very easily, be very secure over the

internet and computer, and offer all kinds of features you

wouldn't even consider such as a built-in report writer to help

deliver the content in the format you need.

Now you know the general price range for accounting software and

the features you'll get for what you pay for. In order to get a

good quality software for your small business it's going to be

pricey, but it will help keep your business organized and in

tact. So don't be afraid to drop some money on software that

will help expand your business in the long run.
