ReAnn Rothwell’s Money Saving Ideas, Tax & Organizing Tips

I am so happy that I am dancing in my office!! {Imagine a fat old lady doing a happy dance - LOLOLOOL}

My favorite accounting program, QuickBooks, has finally come out with a freebie version for beginners.

If you do not have a way to track your finances, are using a spreadsheet program or a manual program, AND you are not ready to spend any money on a full-blown program yet, QuickBooks Simple Start FREE is the answer. 

Download it from here.

According to the Download page:

“QuickBooks Simple Start is easy-to-use, free accounting software designed to help you manage your small business better. It’s from Intuit, the makers of TurboTax and Quicken. Simple Start makes estimating, invoicing, accepting payments, and keeping track of your finances quick and easy. Let Simple Start help you be ready at tax time, stay organized, and look more professional. Simple Start is for first-time QuickBooks users and can’t import data from prior versions of QuickBooks Basic, Pro or Premier Editions, Quicken or Peachtree. Version 2008 lets users track thousands of customers and vendors and import data from Microsoft Excel 2000/2002/2003/2007.”

I am sure the FREE version does not have all of the bells and whistles that the paid version does, however I am also sure it will be the best freebie out there. I can not wait for a client to need this so that I can get my hands dirty (so to speak) getting into it. I will report back as soon as I know anything more.
