O/O which accounting soft you use to track expences?

I always use an accounting program for the figures. As far as the miles, I assume for IFTA and what not, I use a spreadsheet.

I am sure there are some out there, but I am partial to the separate because I use the accounting for the business accounts I do which are not all truck related.

 

First of all I have Windows Vista on my PC and it fighting with almost all accounting program. I tried Bookkeeper but it not adjusted for trucking business. I bought Quicken Home & Business 2010 but it do not start up in Vista. Now I'm ready to get advises :biggrin_25513

 

the same question

 

Quick Books Pro 2010

 

Quickbooks pro 2010 is what we use. It sells for $180 retail i think but you can get it for around $115 on ebay

 

If you bank with Wells Fargo, they have a great online banking program that is free and organizes all of your expenses...Also there a free oline program called Mint that seems decent.

 

Ya' get what you pay for with "free" online programs......... Sure the Wells Fargo has a free track your expenses that's fine for a personal account..... But not for running a business....... If one cannot invest $100 to $200 in a small business accounting program, then one should not be in biz.....

 

Note pad and folder to keep receipts goes alot cheaper. Organize the receipts by the month in a manilla envelope.

Otherwise if you must have something to keep track of expenses, try microsoft money.

 

I do accounting for a living in addition to the trucking. I have never bought an accounting program for that. I use one that is quite effective for alot less.

Tax programs are a different story.
