accounting software?

Hi. What is the most popular accounting software? And how much do they run? I just finished taking few accounting courses at a community college and I want to get a job. Thanks in advance.

Depends on who you ask. Quickbooks and Peachtree are the most common "out-of-the-box" versions for most small businesses.

It depends, as low as $100 if you buy form a kind and generous QB pro provider who is also your accountant, up to over $1000 depending on the modules.

Then learn QB and Peachtree, as that will open up most all options to you.

They're not cheap. But if you want to - any office supply store should have them (Office Depot, Office Max, etc) or computer store (Best Buy, etc), or go on-line.

You could ask your friends if anyone has an older copy you can get to tinker with.

On the cheap, see if you can find a "dummies" book on Quickbooks and/or Peachtree. I know they have them, and it'll give you some insight before you even touch the program. Of course, having both would be best.

Go to Staples.com, you can buy Peachtree and get a discount coupon for the same amount. It takes a few weeks to get the coupon, but at least it is free at the end.
