New to booking in the US, better to use Quickbooks or my companies current system?

Hey all,

I am new to all of this, so sorry if this has been asked before! The company I work for is using a CRM/Accounting package called Mamut in the UK. The issue is that I was wanting to use it in the USA but have no idea on booking keeping in the US. This package is tailored for UK accounts and they provided us with a modification for the US in the form of being able to use US currency and a sales tax function for California (where the company is based).

However, I have talked to a few local accountants and none of them want to go near it and all suggest I use Quickbooks as this will same me money (I am assuming this is because they are already familiar with the package).

What do you suggest I do? Are the US accountants so different to the UK that I need to use a US system?

Thanks for your time!

Richard
