Years ago – I won’t tell you how many, but it was when I got my blazing fast Windows 3 computer! – I started using Quicken to handle household bookkeeping.
When I began freelancing a couple of years later, I upgraded to Quicken Home & Business. It let me keep my accounts for my freelance business income and expenses separate from household income and expenses, but within the same program.
Today, I’m using Quickbooks Self Employed, because the last thing I want is to spend hours every month on bookkeeping.
Quickbooks Self Employed lets me focus on creating great podcasts, not on bookkeeping.
If, like me, you’d rather spend your time exploring, hanging out with friends, and building your business than tracking income and expenses, you’ll like Quickbooks Self Employed.
It syncs with my bank accounts to automatically track income and expenses, and does a great job of keeping personal and business separate. Here are just a few of the things I really like about it.
- It’s platform agnostic. I can use it on my computer or my phone.
- It automatically tracks my mileage through the app on my phone.
- It saves and categorizes receipts – just snap a picture of the receipt with your phone. Easy peasy.
Here’s another thing — you can use it to send invoices, see when they’re opened, and get paid online if you choose to. Set up payments through major credit cards, ACH (bank transfer), or Apple Pay. And bank transfers are free unless your own bank charges you a fee for the service.
At the end of the month, quarter, or year I can download reports and spreadsheets, saving lots of time and hair-pulling at tax time.
