re: Best Multi-User Accounting Software?

Sage is a very good series of programs that are scaleable, Sage 50 is the old "Peachtree". But, Sage 50 even though it's the most basic line, may still be overkill for you. It's a true accounting program.

Quickbooks Desktop is still the gold standard for small business accounting especially if the business owner wants to be involved (and you should - that's a smart move on your part).

QBO has gone from absolute crap to mostly crap so i guess that's an improvement =) but t is not at all user friendly and the reporting features are really rough.

Another option that is popular with small businesses is Xero. Although my experience has been that a lot of older CPAs / firm CPAs aren't very familiar with it. It's a great program though and especially if being cloud-based is important to you. But you will need to find a CPA - likely a younger one - that knows how to use it.
