[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 582757, member: 5478"] I'm not sure about the other Quickbooks programs, (there are several), but I use Quickbooks Pro. I use it for my other business as well. It did not come preloaded with the categories and such that I needed for either operation. But, it allows you to make your own. It works very well. I can pull up charts and trends for anything I want. You can have as many seperate accounts as you need. For instance, if I wanted to seperate my gas usage for every vehicle, I can set up one account and call it "ATV gas", another for "Pickup gas", or "Tractor gas",.....anything you want to track can be easily tracked. You can probably even track your cows as inventory if you like, although I don't use it for that. I just use it for accounting purposes. At the end of the fiscal year, you print out the profit and loss page and take it to your accountant if you want. Most accountants will have a Quickbooks program so you can email your files as well. Some of my accounts that I put in there are; Feed Veterinary supplies Fencing supplies New corral supplies (seperated this so I could track the total cost away from the other fencing supplies) Gas- tractor Diesel- tractor Gas- trucks &ATVs Diesel- tucks Equipment Maintenance Equipment Purchase Just an example.......You can split things up with as much detail as you want. For instance, all of my fuel categories listed above are sub-categories of "Fuel", so I can click on that to see my total fuel cost or click on one of the sub-categories to view them by vehicle.
