I have always found the commercial accounts software packages very unnecessarily complicated. I think I've tried every single one on the market and there's always something about them I don't like. In the end I wrote my own.

If you're not VAT registered you probably could do your accounts on a simple spreadsheet. I'm a bit of a spreadsheet saddo but once you get the hang of it they're really simple to use and will do all your calculations for you. I have a feeling Simplex do computerised versions of their account books. I've no idea if they're any good but if you've used that format on paper it may be a option. I would imagine you just input the data and let your PC deal with all the calculations. I'll have a little look around the net for you or maybe someone here uses them?

he he at last, someone else with a simplex d book, I thought i was the only one on the planet with one of those, let me know what bits you are unsure of and I'll tell you what I write in there

I agree with Treen, Spreadsheets are the way to go. Believe me I am sooo not good on computers, a few people on here can vouch for that! Get someone to show you how to do it, it really is easy and does all the sums for you. Its not as scary as it looks!!

Ellie's got a lovely spreadsheet she can send you

I've had a quick look around the net and as far as I can see Simplex don't do a spreadsheet type version of their books There are a few people that do Excel mock ups of them but to be honest it's not that hard to do yourself, especially if you don't have to account for VAT.

I should write one for florists and flog it!
Any takers?
