    Hi,

    I need to get an accounting software for my small business. Is there anything you use that you would be happy to recommend? I am prepared to pay up to €200 (excluding VAT) for an annual license.

    These are the features I need:
    - two separate warehouses (ability to transfer stock between them)
    - adding a photo to each product
    - adding two separate prices in two different currencies to each product (€ and $)

    I would also like to have some basic accounting features like keeping track of the expenses, preparing VAT returns, Income Tax return, invoicing. The accounts features are not so important, I can still manage to do them in Excel. I just need a good software to manage stock, because in six months I might be completely lost if I keep doing it in Excel :D.

    You've a decision to make. Sage 50 Accounts Professional or Quickbooks will do the foreign currency price lists for products, add a picture for each product (not sure bout quickbooks on that but sage 50 def does), and all the accounting stuff. I generally find the foreign currency element in Sage 50 better than Quickbooks, esp for customer and supplier pricelists and reporting, if that is a big part of your business.

    Problem is the multi warehouse, it's one of those things like serial and batch tracking that means a big jump up to a bigger package like Sage 200 or Exchequer. The difference in price is 1-2k, to 7-10k in price...

    Do you have many product items? you could set up a different product code for each warehouse so e.g. PipesWA, and PipesWB are two product codes for same product, one quantity in warehouse a and one in warehouse B, and then you can still transfer stock from one to the other by adjusting one down and the other up.
