Bookkeeping

Ok, ive given in. Ive just downloaded about a million software products, but im lost on how to use them. I just want a really simple spreadsheet or something to do my own bookkeeping on cos i cant afford to pay someone to do it. Help

If you just want a spreadsheet programme, I would recommend Microsoft Excel. Once you've set it up and input your formulas, you just stick the numbers in and it calculates things for you. Hope I haven't over-simplified!

I'm a complete div at this sort of thing but I set up an excel spreadsheet like jake mentioned. Its basically columns for date, cash, chq or credit card payments, daily totals. I also break everything down so I know what I've done on cards, plants, flowers, gifts and relay. Hope that makes sense!

Have a look at this one. Its open source software and FREE.

If you can spend the time getting to know it, it should do the job. There are thousands of users and plenty of help available on the net.

I downloaded it ages ago but haven't had a chance to look at it yet, so can't say any more than that

B.T.W. "Simplex D" wasn't that the name of the disease that Eddie Murphy pretended to have in Beverly Hills Cop?
