My accountant charges by the hour. So yeah, I can walk in there with a box full of receipts and daily sales and let her sort them out, but I can do it cheaper ;) A LOT cheaper!!

I have fired my latest accountant, in fact. I didn't appreciate the condecending manner in which they delt with me. And they did charge hourly as well. I am dealing with it myself and when I get current, it will be much more manageable. I will let you know how I feel about Bookkeeper 2008 after more experience using it.
I'm up to Feb 2008! 6 more to go! I'm finding that the more I do, the more I get the hang of it and am ALMOST starting to like it. Except it does make me sick to see all the capital I've invested...

p.s. marie123: work smarter, not harder - nice. I work very smart. Which is why I have all that I do. I've also worked very hard in my life because I was taught, from childhood, to have a stong work ethic.

ok, calm down elise... it's all good. i was asking why you were doing the work. you explained why - you pay them hourly. i pay my acct a fixed amount so i was coming from my perspective which is one where i hand over the stuff and they do what i pay them to do.

i know it's JASON, but no need for a 'tude
