Can anyone recommend a good accounting software - program for small business? SM


Posted: Jun 18, 2013

We are going to start a small business (nothing to do with MT) and eventually have employees. I am completely fuddle-headed with math functions, even simple addition and subtraction. I was thinking about a small bookkeeping class at a local tech school, or possibly an on-line course. I hate to put a lot of money into a class for any type of degree or certificate, with a lot of things to learn that I don't really need or want. I would like to find a simple (... For Dummies) accounting program that we could use for general recordkeeping and possibly payroll. I don't know Excel spreadsheets, but I suppose I should take a course in that. Or any type of business software program that may be able to do it all, or close enough. Maybe a local tutor, to help teach me how to use a program?

QuickBooks - Canadian MT

[ In Reply To ..]
I operate a couple of businesses (1 MT, 1 other) and use versions of QuickBooks for both. It is fairly simple and most accountants know it. It is better to choose your accountant first and then pick the software based on what he/she recommends; otherwise you will have to do everything manually at the end of each year.

Recommend Foot Pedal And/or Software
Jan 24, 2013

Up until now I have not had to buy my own pedal or software, but many companies seem require this.  I could use some recommendations, as I'm a little lost.

Could Anyone Recommend Good Medical Coding Websites?

Hello, I am becoming disenchanted with the medical transcription profession and how it has become less lucrative (although some may disagree). I wanted to look into medical coding as an alternative at-home (remote) or in-office job.  I was hoping someone could recommend a few good websites that discuss the profession, how to prepare for it, how long training typically takes before you can "launch yourself", how lucrative it could be if you really apply yourself, and so on.

Hello all! I am new to this forum and would just like to share my thoughts with you as I have read through some of your postings about different MT companies out there, like "Should I work here?" So, as nicely as I can say it, in a matter of my opinion:  My Top Ten Reasons why I would NOT recommend ATSI: 1.
