Quick Books

[Yadkin]

I've used it going on about 25 years and had to update any time that I've upgraded a PC. Every single time the program gets worse, and slower. My current version is 2021.

At the end of next month QB will cease support of the product and require a subscription. What are my alternatives? Shit, since I'm "mostly retired" I may just go with a spreadsheet.

Second question. How long will it be before Large Blob hijacks this thread?

Well what did you expect since I have free rent in your head and always in your mouth. A little to the left please.

When I got my business computerized in the mid-90s, my buddy's wife gave me a copy of her Microsoft Money (which we could do back then). It was simple and great, and way better than doing "real" books which was a major pain.

But MS kept making it worse, don't remember what I used next but QB was in there somewhere, along with another, more obscure one. I hated them all because they were WAY to complex and cumbersome for a small business that didn't even deal with the public.

So a few years before I retired a buddy of mine made me a personalized spreadsheet (I've never learned how to create them). It was great, simple, and did everything I needed.

When I did consult I was turned onto Zoho. Primarily used Zoho for billing and cash management. Details were in excel that I didnt enter in Zoho.

Check it out, while not quicken (which I didn’t want) it worked for what I did
