Invoicing/Accounting Software for Small Engineering Business

[Gaspode]

One of the downsides of describing yourself as an IT Consultant is that people tend to assume you know everything about IT. One of my mates has introduced me to a chap who has just set up his own engineering company, doing sub-contract work in the aviation industry. Hitherto he has always worked on his own, but now, with 3 employees, it's all a bit more complex, so he needs some invoicing/admin/accounting software. It only needs to deal with a handful of customers, and less than 20 invoices per month.

It only needs to run on a standalone laptop, no need for networks or cloud-based solution, and needless to say it needs to be cheap as chips.

My specialisation is in Business Enterprise Architecture, process engineering for big companies, so it's a bit out of my area. All recommendations gratefully received!

To be honest this is the sort of thing that the cloud accounts firms do really really well.

Kashflow or xero

Blimey, that was quick! Kashflow looks like it will be just the job, we'll take a closer look.

Many thanks, much appreciated.

Can't go wrong with either of those apps.
