I'm in need of updating my record-keeping as a small business/self-employed contractor. For reporting purposes, I currently keep track of vehicle [mileage. gas, maintenance, parking etc] and home-office [office supplies, rent/utilities, phone etc] expenses using simple Excel spreadsheets. The difficulty I have is that the cell formats do not transfer if I copy and paste onto a new sheet within a workbook. IIt used to do this when I had the G4 but now I have to manually go in and re-program the formats into the cells. Also, there are limitations to what I can create using my own skill and knowledge. I use several files to store information but need to do each one individually. I'm considering obtaining a new program with ready-made invoice, record, time-sheet etc templates where information is correlated within several documents/files rather than me having to go into each one to add information individually to the fields/cells. I currently hold 30 contracts. I am not incorporated so reporting is simply for planning and income tax purposes. Can someone provide me feedback on what program[s] you use for small business/contractor purposes or what you might suggest I try? G3 [slow] 10.3.9 [slow] Now, if I could only afford to upgrade my computer as well!!!
