    Does anyone do their own books? If so what software do you use?

    I use the list of accounts provided and added any that I need. I previously used sage, for me quickbooks is easier to navigate.

    It will ask you when you install the software what type of business you are running and provide a chart of accounts accordingly.

    You got that right !
    Quickbooks is probably the best solution but doing your own accounting is tough at the best of times. I tried so hard to do my company books with it but I finally came to the conclusion I was not cut out for it. It might seem like a lot of money but paying an accountant a grand for doing it right pays off in the long run I think.
    Perhaps you could hire an accountant and ask them to help you grow into using Quickbooks. If you are lucky they might accommodate you.
