We use Xero.com. Its considerably "less shitty" than QB was for us. But I still struggle to wrap my head around basic accounting concepts and therefore require a bookkeeper.

If you're a programmer/CS type, then this is an excellent explanation of accounting principles in terms of graphs:

Thank you!

I hate Xero with a passion. I've a software engineer background and currently serve as CEO, ala non-accountant, I'm constantly finding bugs with their software that go on unfixed for months. I'm only using Xero because my accountant prefers it than spreadsheets.

That's interesting I've got a keen eye for bugs and thought their QA was pretty tight. What kind of issues have you stumbled across?

My experience mirrors yours.

We use Xero and still have our accountant check our books before we file our end of year returns. The bonus of Xero is that our accountant has real time access to our finances - which means he can provide a more proactive service.

Interesting product. Do they provide a native app as well?

There's a handy iOS app at least but only does on the go stuff which makes good use of your smart phone

I love wave accounting
