Hi Evan,

Mine is certainly a small business, micro might be a more appropriate term but I do have one client that requires progressive invoicing. (Work for city Dept. of Pub Works)
QBPro, does this but it's also overkill for most of my very basic accounting needs.

Actually, the city now pays simply time and materials, where originally I had to work within the confines of a bid/ contract. They seemed to relax once I had my foot in the door. As long as I keep per job amounts under a certain limit they have been fine with time and materials (which is my preference anyway).

Besides the online QB option, I need to get to know this GnuCash program. I think it's a good software (the best I've found yet), just not as pretty as QB.

While most programs have a learning curve, they really all do the same thing.
I think this may well be the case here. I learned about the GnuCash program on one of the Linux forums that I go to and people are evidently using it to do their business accounting.

My best bet may be to take the time between now and the end of the year to learn the program so that I can close this years books out in QB and start the new year in the new program. That would, IMO, be far easier than complicating things by trying to transfer all of this years data.

BTW, I do, very much, appreciate your input. I'll keep you posted on what works best for my "micro" business.

Thanks,

Dave
