I just had to reply to these people bashing a program they haven't even tried. I have been using this program for over 2 years & LOVE IT! Before this I used Quickbooks and HATED it (this coming from a professional bookkeeper, I specialized in Peachtree Bookkeeping for large companies). Of course my new small business didn't need those bells and whistles. At the time Quickbooks & MYOB were my only Mac options. On both systems you had to go through 3 steps to do one thing. Just poorly designed. I tried both and went with Quickbooks. 6 months later I started looking for another option out of pure frustration. I found Tinybooks and never looked back.

I am a small internet based business with a lot of odd accounts due to foreign sales and commissions. This program handles everything for me and more in a very simple and straight forward manner. It isn't complicated. You dont have to be a bookkeeper to understand and use it. You have an income you enter it in, you pay an expense enter it in. I can see at a glance my expenses, income, net income etc... for any given time.

My first year I used the chart of accounts that came with it and did my own taxes from the figures. This last year I am a lot bigger so I created my own chart of accounts and handed the print outs to my accountant. Still it is so very easy and does everything I need and then some. Still haven't had to hire a bookkeeper. If I had stayed with Quickbooks I think I would have had to just due to the time involved in using that program.

It is a steal at $49. So before posting negative feedback the least you could do is try it. That is just plain wrong. It isn't fancy but who needs fancy. I needed simple and affordable, Tinybooks delivers that.

Yes Ken is always sending updates everytime he fixes something or adds a function. I applaud him for that. I don't have to wait 2 years for a major upgrade. It shows he is dedicated to improving this software and he does a great job at that and at supporting it. Kudos Ken!

Great Little Bookkeeper & support - conspiracynut

I agree totally with this comment, I run my own one person business with a few suppliers and many clients. I'm 'accountaphobic' and have always shied away from accountancy software.
This software is a breeze to use, there is no learning involved, and I'm kept in the picture with how my business is doing each time I log in and enter an invoice, or make a payment.
Ken, the author, replies to emails within the hour if he is out of the office, and immediately when he is at his desk.
Well worth the money.
