accounting programs

Peachtree is a double-entry ledger system, which, if you don't have an accounting/bookkeeping background will probably be more trouble than it is worth.

Personally, for ease of use, Cleo's spreadsheet would probably be the way to go.

However, if you are doing this for your benefit, you might want to ask your accountant what software he supports. I use quickbooks to do my accounting, all of the checks, etc are cut through quickbooks, bill payments, etc. I have every credit card that is used for the business tracked in there and can generate a number of graphs or reports to see where things are going. At the end of the year, I hand my accountant the quickbooks file, and taxes are much easier for him to prepare.

Two birds with one stone kind of thing.
