So I have been using Quickbooks since back in the bad ol days or dos computer programs. I have only upgraded the software only when the current version was no longer supported.
All i ever did was invoice by memorized invoices (batched invoicing) since the monthly fee was always the same except the occasional extra work. By batch invoicing what i mean by that is pretty much i would do the same 10 clients on the same day. Lets call the group crestmoore. All i would do is click on the crestmoore group and all 10 invoices would be created. Then either i would email, print and drop at house or if need be, send invoice via usps.
Of course i would be able to produce a transaction history report if a customer forgot to pay me and on that report was the invoice number and their check number and amount/month paid.
Create an estimate every blue moon and once completed, it would automatically be converted to an invoice to give/send client
Basic banking....keeping track of my various expenses for tax purposes.
I also used it for my rental using its own company
But i had it with Inuit's corporate greed. Like i said, i had no issue upgrading the software when needed, but now they will require an annual subscription fee of over $650 ....screw that crap...I don't understand why they got so damn greedy and support the software for 3 years like before and now they are forcing you to update every year.
So bottom line, what kind of basic bookkeeping software are you all using. I don't need all these hoyty poyty features other than what i currently use with my current quickbooks for desktop and i prefer to get paid via checks instead of online. Too much old school and i don't trust everything out in the open and online.
