this is serious but of no use to any car people

whats out there to buy, i like what stu uses as its well laid out and also not easy to replicate either making it hard to forge the amounts

You'd be far better using a copy of Sage Instant accounts. Much easier to use for what you want than excel, and has far more features. Excel is ok, but certainly if u want to go pro, u should use the right tool for the job.

I know, in the right hands. But if u want to get software... I advise on IT to businesses, and it's just not something i could recommend doing.

Make sure it comes with a spell checker mate if you want it to look professional!

Office 2003 has a lot of online templates I use

I'd use Sage Line 50 as then you wouldn't have to transfer all your data, when your idea grows and most, if not all, accountants will be able to use the data and reports if you needed them to
You can also keep all your client/supplier info on there, if you wanted to do a mailshot and use the 'department' reports to make mini Profit & Loss statements for each project or whatever

Sage is the only accounts package i have come across that is designed for Non Accounting people. Instead of Debtors and Creditors, it uses normal terms like Customers and Suppliers respectively.

You can alter the design of the invoices in a design wizard

ps I do accounts and find it the best and most simple package to use, even over a tailor made Microsoft package i used

Forgot to say, obviously you can also apply the payments to the invoices, if you give/receive credit which is a great way to keep track of cashflow
Excel will not be able to do this
