All,
I'm in the process of starting up a tiny company. This will be like freelance video -- I can do anything but weddings. No weddings! Too high stakes, and I'd take an angry CEO over an angry bride any day.
Now, I'm wondering what I need to do, to get the accounting started off on the right foot from day 1. I have GNUCash installed, and I was going to use that...but I've used FreshBooks in the past and really love it.
FreshBooks will let me manage 3 clients (So myself and 2 others) for free. Past that it's going to be $14 a month, but by the time I have 2 paying clients, I should be able to swallow the $14 a month.
Only thing is Freshbooks only does 3 things...it does them well, but still, it only does:
• Invoicing
• Estimates
• Expenses
Is that all I need at this point? I know GNUCash can do a lot more...and while I'd like to think that I'm going to track everything perfectly, amortize, depreciate, etc. -- truly I just want to make sure that I'm tracking the right stuff to make my taxes relatively pain free when that time comes.
Ok ready...set...school me!
