I had a customized MS Excel spreadsheet back in the days, my roommate would use Microsoft Money, then I tried Quicken, now I see there are many interesting apps out there to keep track of your expenses.<p>What do you use? What do you recommend?
For keeping track of signups/revenue/expenses/profit on a daily/monthly basis, I use custom widgets on a GeckoBoard status board. They poll a handful of scripts that combine some SQL queries into various products' customer/payment databases, with arrays of fixed expenses and some formulas to estimate variable ones like payment transaction fees for the current month.<p>For actual bookkeeping, QuickBooks Pro.<p><a href="http://www.geckoboard.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.geckoboard.com</a>
I use gnucash. It works fairly well, but the leap to double-entry accounting might be a little strange if you've only used quicken (but a good thing to learn in the long run).<p>I've been meaning to switch to ledger/hledger, which is command line based, but haven't switched yet.
