Bookkeeping software?

by Will

I have little knowledge of bookkeeping. At what point should I consider hiring a bookkeeper instead of using computer software?

I would highly recommend using computer software to do your bookkeeping regardless of whether you hire a bookkeeper or use the software yourself. QuickBooks Pro 2009 is a good version to get started with and offers some great built in tutorials.

Once you upload the software, play around with the tutorials for awhile to familarize yourself with all of the different day to day bookkeeping tasks involved with your type of business. After doing this, you should have a better idea of whether or not you will want to do the bookkeeping yourself.
