Find software that fits YOU. Ask similar businesses what they use. Hit the internut. And know THIS... you MAY not need an accountant. Having said that, it's probably a good thing to go through the first year with one.

I just used excel after paying an accountant $650 in my first year to essentially tell me where to report what and, even then, I had to do all the work. After that, I did my own, but my business was rather simple. It was just consulting engineering.

Don't take my advice, though. Others here know far more than I do. Unless yer as cheap as me. >;-)
