b.glass Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Can someone tell me what software works best for you for you quilting business? I'm looking for ease, taxes, expenses, etc. My business partner and I have a quilt retreat business and individually each of us has a longarm business. We'd like something we can both use. We don't have a lot to spend and arm and a leg. Beth www.onthemountainquiltretreats.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Beth I use "Eureka" software, here is the link: http://www.eurekadocumentation.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbear Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Ah, finally a question I can field! I learn so much from this forum, but my day job is bookkeeping. Beth, do you have Microsoft Office on your computer with Excel? I use the Excel spreadsheet program for the bulk of my bookeeping, (two different kinds of business), and I use Quick Books for only the receivables portion to do my monthly billing. In Excel I've created pages that track sales, state tax, income, money from other sources, operating costs, purchases of materials, other payments, profit and loss and end of month proof of cash. If you have a spreadsheet program you won't have to spend anything except the time to set up the pages properly and/or the time to learn the program.

Barbara Conquest Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I strongly suggest Eureka ( as above). I've used it for years; it does everything I need, and it isn't expensive. I (and my accountant) love the end-of-year print-out reports. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neher-in-law5 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Is Eureka set up for quilting business specifically, or is it a generic program like Quick Books? I don't quilt as a business but use parts of Quick Books for our income business. Mostly I use it for invoices and eventually recording the payments of them. I also put our household billpay in so the end of the year figuring is quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Quickbooks is great. It has stock control which is invaluable for me to track my wadding quantities and backing fabrics, being an accountant myself, I have used it for years, but it is very user friendly.
