Can someone recommend a small business accounting package the actually works? Please? I'm finding Quickbooks to be absolutely useless for my needs. To perform the the simplest of transactions I need to enter in volume after volume of information, some of it incorrect just to "fool" it.
My needs are simple. I buy raw materials and items, and build and repair guitars from those items. I need to track COGS, I'd like to track basic inventory, and things like sales tax, etc. I need to be able to do intelligent things. For example, I buy the same item from 5 different suppliers. In Quickbooks there is absolutely no way whatsoever to capture this basic piece of information. I'm not even sure how to create a purchase order with the vendor's part number short of typing it by hand each time OR having duplicate items....one for each vendor. This is a disaster!
Surely there is some package out there that works simply and easily, yet has basic functionality that a real business needs?
