Need A Solution...Details Inside!
Hi, folks.
Being autistic and ADHD, I'm finding the process of narrowing down some accounting/bookkeeping softwaare extremely overwhelming to the point of meltdown. I'm hoping that if I can tell you folks about my business you might have a good recommendation for me. I **THINK** I've got it narrowed down to a few choices but I really need some input from people more knowledgable than me.
Here's a bit about my company:
- I create almost zero invoices or estimates
- I have no payroll at all
- I'm a solo member LLC
- I'm in the book publishing business
- I sell ebooks and paperbacks through our own website and through book retailers
- I need to be able to track the income and expenses involved with the production and sale of a book from start to finish: cover design, proofreading, printing charge, shipping charge, tax, etc.. I need to be able to assign these to categories but also need to be able to track the profitability of any given title over time. This is especially important as monthly statements from vendors have individual line items for each title and format.
- Also need to be able to track royalty payments and issue 1099-MISC at the end of the year to authors.
- Project planning would be amazing, but I can always use something separate for that.
Based on the above, is there a software solution in particular that you think I would benefit from the most? Been looking at QBSolo (gods, I hate QB), Xero, Freshbooks...but all seem almost TOO complicated for what I need but I also don't want to be living out of Excel spreadsheets.
If I'm posting this in the wrong spot, by all means shoo me away to wherever I should go. Thanks!
