I looked into accounting software. This posting set my mind:

Shameless C&P:

If you do not use Quickbooks:

* Your bank will hate you.

* Your investors will hate you.

* Your payroll system won't work.

* Your tax systems won't work.

* Your accountant won't work.

* Grants are even off the table in some cases.

* Some places won't audit without Quickbooks.

I don't think this is necessarily true in all countries. Here in the UK I see a lot of people using Xero & Sage, and micro businesses using Freeagent.

If you do not use [Major Accounting Software in your country]:

* Your bank will hate you.

* Your investors will hate you.

* Your payroll system won't work.

* Your tax systems won't work.

* Your accountant won't work.

* Grants are even off the table in some cases.

* Some places won't audit without Quickbooks.
