Accounting Software - faiyth


Posted: Jan 20, 2011

Good morning everyone.

I am a recent MT graduate with a pending job offer.  I'm very exciting to begin working in this amazing industry.  At this time I am thinking about the whole starting up your own business thing and preparing myself for when I have to start submitting invoices etc.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good (and user friendly) accounting software for MTs, or if there even is such a thing.  I was thinking of using something easy like Quick Books but if there is software out there specifically designed for MTs, I would certainly love to hear about.

Any other advise any of you may have as I embark on my new career, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

faiyth

There is no need to spend the money on Quickbooks ($100-$200). This program is more for the MTSO business. A simple invoice for submitting your lines can be created in Word or Excel with free templates that can be downloaded from the Microsoft web site.

Can Anyone Recommend A Good Accounting Software
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) accounti ...

Scary Software

During my first visit with a new doctor yesterday, I wondered why I was not presented with the usual "book of history" to fill out beforehand.  As the nurse was asking questions, she was busy clicking on pull-down menus, etc.   On her computer screen was software called SOAPware, and there, formatted into SOAP format and all, I saw my replacement.  Later, in the exam room, the FNP was using the software as well as we went along, after exam, labs, etc.  I made a comment ...


MP Count Software?
Mar 17, 2010

I'm currently working as a new IC for a co. that just asked me to invoice them using MP Count software.  They had an .exe application for it on their ftp server, but of course when I transferred it to my computer and tried to load it, it didn't work.  Now when I go to mp word's website, I see that they charge for the software, and there doesn't seem to be any software that ONLY functions as line counting software. Any experience with the softwar ...

Hi.  I've been using Express Scribe for years now and have never run into a situation where it couldn't play the files that I was working with.  Recently I got a new job and now .ds2 files are going to be used more often and I just found out that Express Scribe doesn't play those.  UGH!

Software Programs

I've worked for 3 different MTSOs. each bought out by another. I was never aware of the type of software programs used by these companies as the work platforms were "proprietary." I'm currently looking for part-time work and notice that most all job applications are asking for the name of or type of software programs used. How do I find out this information? As an example, Webmedx used Enterprise, but I have no idea what software program was used to create this platform. How do I ...
