Ask HN: Abandon my efforts of creating spreadsheets instead of using QB?

1 pointsby sperryalmost 15 years ago
I like the idea of having all my financial statements accessible from anywhere and by people who have permission to view them. So I started replicating much of Quickbooks' functionality using Google Docs.<p>However, I'm coming to learn that although it is possible to include much of Quickbooks' features, it's becoming a little cumbersome to do so.<p>Should I just use Quickbooks?<p>(I'm also considering just throwing up a web app and slowly adding to it as necessary).

Quickbooks offers an affordable "online" version. We use it and are quite happy with it so far.<p>EDIT: <a href="http://quickbooksonline.intuit.com/finance-accounting-solutions/" rel="nofollow">http://quickbooksonline.intuit.com/finance-accounting-soluti...</a>

Use Quickbooks, it ties everything together for you in a way that spreadsheets cannot.
