    Hi

    Does anyone have any recommendations for accounting software? We’ve been using Excel but it’s getting complicated!
    I’m familiar with Data Developments from doing church accounts but wondered what else worked well.

    Thanks
    Hilary

    Hi
    I use ClearBooks and find this works really well. I look after a number of almshouse charities and therefore have a free Accoutants package with each charity set up as a client at a cost of Ā£10 a month per charity.
    I looked at Sage and Xero but found them to be much more expensive and far too complex for our needs.
    Hope this helps.

    I use Xero, and it makes everything very easy indeed.

    It does do much more than we need, but it also does everything that we need.

    I recommend Quick File. It is very reasonable with no monthly subscription to pay.

    I use Xero and have found it excellent and easy to use
    Our accountant can review the books remotely and see the accounts on line if i ever have a query
    it also works out the pay for the wardens and the tax/NI which it will also automatically pay every month
    Regards

    I have used Quickbooks for many years both for Almshouse work and another charity. Getting expensive but well worth it. Easy to use

    For small charities, I would recommend investigating Quick File. There are no monthly costs and if you have under 1000 transactions per year it is free. You can connect your bank feeds for Ā£15.
    It is so simple to use. I have an associate who can set your charity up on QF using a csv file from last years accounts.
    We have just completed this for three charities with a minimal expense to the chair and a massive saving long term with the reduced inputting required.

    Another vote for Xero. Very user friendly and easy to use.
