Bookkeeper: Easily Manage Your Business Finances

I have a small business with one part-time employee to keep track of, needed the inventory, payroll and invoicing that comes with this. Can not afford to spend $$ each month on one of the big boys so bought this one to upgrade from my old Bookkeeper. The website said the latest included 2020 & 2021 tax tables. The box I bought does not say what version you have, you have to install it to find out what it is. The installation failed with transferring the old data & eventually I had to totally remove both programs and reinstall the new one & then laboriously rebuild all the 2020 information. When I started 2021 I found the tax tables were not here for that year, I would have to buy it. Since I bought it in March of 2021, I would think it would be there. Support says no, my version doesnt have the 2021 tax tables. This is the version that is not mentioned anywhere on the box. I can buy the tables for $30...which, since I paid $36 for this two months ago seems excessive...for one part time employee. Carrying on, I made out an invoice to a customer, who paid right away. The invoice is for $76.83, customer paid $76.83, Bookkeeper changed the invoice to $75.85 and gave the customer a $.98 credit. Where did this come from? I have checked & rechecked all the figures. Even paying from the original invoice it changes the figure when I try to enter payment. Still waiting to hear from Tech support...but trying to find a work around. If anyone knows of another bookkeeping system for small businesses that actually work and are not full of unpleasant surprises please let me know. And, by the way, the included HELP files are generally useless. If you are in a section working & in doubt, there is a HELP button, which does not take you to the topic you are on but to the beginning of the help and the introduction. The search is a joke & not a funny one at that.

Not all information is giving

Bookkeeper 2009 is really easy to follow. This is the perfect system for a small business or keeping track of your household expenses. The price was excellent.

This software is easy to use for a small start up business. I use it mostly as a guide just keep certain transactions in one place but it is not my sole software. I think it is great to get you on your way.

We bought this product primarily for tracking income and expenses via our Bank check register. It comes with a vast array of selections, mostly associated with tracking payroll, taxes, etc and were still trying to figure our how to just register basic transactions. It is way too complex without the option of selecting simple bookkeeping as was advertised.

Piss poor ...no more to say

wouldnt download called support received no help returned product

I have used this software for years. Both for my husbands towing company, then for my cab company. Yes, it does take a bit of work, but it is SO worth every penny. I have used Quickbooks and while it is fancy, it does not do very well for support. My favorite version is the 2009 version. I upgraded to 2012, but it went down in quality somewhat.

product is bad. dont buy

I was a little dubious about this software when I first tried to set it up. I have used Peachtree Accounting for over 20 years and this is quite different. While muddling through, I am liking it more and more. I still dont have everything figured out, but with time and a little patience, I will.
