I've used Quickbooks for donkey's years and sticking with them as the accountant has a deal with Quickbooks for a monthly fee of £10.00/month for two years.

My accountant has been pushing Xero, seems ok and we havnt had many problems with it over the last few years, Mum does that side of the business as she used to be in that line of work.

There was a similar thread on here recently.

Xero is well thought of by a lot of us on here-worth doing a search.

Use what fits with your accountant.

That’s what I was thinking to be fair. It makes the job simpler if you all work for the same sheet

Fits with tax man more like ?
Self Assessment and tax accounts interface as all online these days too.
Was talking with accountant yesterday and yes of course has to fit with new VAT regime et al and he has asked a number of package providers to go & see him so that he can access which will work best for his clients across a range of businesses but it does have to work for him too. Pity of it is is that he had formulated his own spreadsheet for us that worked brilliantly but is not HMRC compatible
Going to have to run a new package alongside his spreadsheet for 6 months so my brain can bed in

HMRC involvement certainly needs a Degree to understand their methods and procedures and systems !!!
I think I read somewhere that you can get a programme that converts your system to one that hmrc will accept, thats what I want as i made my own spreadsheet based one and it is easy to use and works how i wantWas talking with accountant yesterday and yes of course has to fit with new VAT regime et al and he has asked a number of package providers to go & see him so that he can access which will work best for his clients across a range of businesses but it does have to work for him too.

Changed from Sage to Xero in April. Really like it.

Many accountants don't like Xero as it cuts down their work and therefore the amount they can charge.
How did you change over from sage. Is there much work involved?

Precisely the reason my firm does like it as accountant's, cuts out lots of bookkeeping leaving more time to focus on strategic advice. Much better value for money.

Good to hear.
