Which software?
Permalink  

I currently have 7 year old versions of Quickbooks and Sage Instant; I used the Sage with a customer who had been using it when I took him on and he was my biggest customer so it was well worth the expense of paying for it. However it hasn't been used since I stopped working for him 5 years ago, mainly because I worry about the license side of it. Does anyone know if I would be able to use it now with another customer or not?

I'm now having problems with my Quickbooks, I'm getting error messages that shouldn't be happening and I can't sort it out so I'm thinking I might need to fork out on either a newer version...or another sage...or something else. Any suggestions?

I've recently taken on a new client who owns numerous properties and rents them out. I want a package that will allow me to categorise the income and expenses so that we can easily see what the income/expenses have been for individual properties as well as looking at total rents, insurances etc. I was hoping to play around with my Quickbooks to see if that does it, but I can't because of the problems with it, does anyone know if it has this function if I can get it working properly? Or does sage (or would it need to be sage 50?).

I'd be grateful for any thoughts.

Thanks

Hi Ruth

For quickbooks I would suggest using "class", giving each property a different class name and then entering income and expenditure to those individual classes. The reporting in Quickbooks is second to none.

For sage you will need at the very least Instant Plus to enable you to use "Departments" again you can allocate a department for each property. However, if you want anything other than just detailed nominal reports for each property you will need Line 50.

Hope that helps.
