A couple months back, @Vigilante made a thread in which he recommended all of us get our accounting in order. If you don't have your accounting in order, then you can't sell your business. This is a recurring theme heard by successful entrepreneurs that sold their businesses. It doesn't seem essential, but it is.
So, after taking in that advice, I decided to finally migrate from Microsoft Excel to a real accounting software. My first choice was the only software I had heard of (Quickbooks), but after checking their website and realizing that it'd cost me $600 a year for the inventory tracking feature, I decided to keep searching.
I hate spending money on anything that doesn't generate revenue, especially if it's something I don't really care about like accounting.
Anyways, after searching for a bit, I found Wave: Wave - Free Invoicing & Accounting Software with Credit Card Processing & Payroll Services.
It had all the features I needed, and best of all was free. It integrates easily with Chase and a whole bunch of other financial platforms, and makes accounting easy.
The way they make money is on payroll services, credit card processing, loan origination, and bank wire processing (all features that you are not required to buy - to date I haven't used any of them).
So: If you don't have accounting software yet, check them out. I've been using them for almost two months now and have zero complaints.
