I have been using quickbooks simple start. I have never been all that happy with the invoice generation - not many options. I also do not use any of the other bookkeeping aspects of the program. I just got a new (reconditioned on ebay for $310) computer and really don’t want to load quickbooks on it.
I would like a nice lean invoice only software. I have seen quite a few out there, but thought I would see if anyone has had experience with any.
If you use HomeGauge you can create invoices for whatever you want. You can also export your invoice info directly into QuickBooks or vice versa with HG.
I have never been able to get the homegauge software to work with quickbooks. I use a separate software program called myinvoices and estimates deluxe but it is a duplication and time consuming. I can’t wait until HG software will be albe to acurately track my invoices and allow me to create reports from them. I like the software invoice portion but it is not designed so far (that I can see anyway) to create a valuable and useful report.
I would love to be proven wrong on this.
All depends upon how you invoice. Some inspectors create a separate invoice transaction entry in Quickbooks for every inspection they do and others like to create a batch transaction instead since creating a new customer entry for every inspection can all of a sudden create a rather large customer file in Quickbooks in which most of them are one time customers. Curious as to what inspectors do to get around this issue.
