Hate to be a wet blanket here on the zone...but was looking at how all of you do your accounting. I have been collecting all my receipts for my expenses, keeping track of mileage, and track all my income (including making photocopies of all the personal and bank checks I get. Figured I'd just turn it all in to an accountant at the end of the year and shell out a couple hundred bucks. Recently, a buddy of mine said he wouldn't waste the $$ on an accountant because there was software out there that would do everything he could and for cheaper....Not looking for gory details about your money matters, just curious about how you guys doing this for a living approach this issue...Also, do you have checks madeout to you, or the business...and is your business registered and logos copyrighted (ooops, sorry UD)....cheers b2
