Are there any cloud based book keeping software programs for a small business with less than 30 or so transactions a month? Don't need to invoice, inventory, etc.

I'm just looking for something that can categorize expenses and track income. QBO is very expensive, and we are trying Quicken but it sucks.

Anything in the $50-100/ year range? Or is QBO at $360 or so the best option?

Excel was what I was going to suggest as well. You can develop the spreadsheet(s) with google drive so you can always have it with you. With only 30 transactions a month, I also assume most of those are identical.

You would be able to create your own dropdown choices that mirror the IRS Schedule C, and feed into a running Balance Sheet & Income Statement. At yearend you can kick it to your CPA, or if you do yourself just drop the info into your tax return.

I use a company called Medlin for my payroll. i've never used their bookkeeping - I did the excel way until I eventually hired a bookkeeper, but it appears to be $50/yr. It's definitely no frills, but scroll through this and see what you think: Medlin Accounting

This. It may take a bit to get you what you want but it will help give yourself only what you need.

Quicken is probably better than excel. I’d rather pay for something. Yes a lot of the transactions will be the same so would be a lot faster to have a software that can recognize them plus much lower chance of duplicating something than downloading into excel.
