Best / practical accounting choice for the shop / production company?
I'm looking for the right accounting software to use for a shop type company, obvious stairs in my case, but this might be useful for cabinet/furniture shops...
My main need is to do accounting and reporting....
How much cash is on hand, where's it coming from, where's it going? Which products create the most profit? Who are our best customers? What are our most costly expenses, how have those expenses changed over a period of time compared to usage (charts/graphs)? Who owes us money, who do we owe, and how much. Budgeting... put in future known expenses like taxes and forecast how much cash might be on hand at any given point as well as financial strength of the company. T
I don't really have plans to integrate scheduling, pricing, customer management with the software as I plan to find other software for those purposes like google calendar, excel, etc.
We don't track inventory; we go by sight as estimate how much we think we have but don't necessarily keep a running tally in our current software. We probably should but haven't figured out an effective and cost effective way to do this without creating a headache for the shop and office area.
For those accounting needs though... are there any easy/obvious recommendations? Something that has good support and advices you on the best way to set up the new system would be a great plus.
Thanks for your response.
