Quickbooks is Lame!

Okay, I am compelled to vent about wasting my entire Saturday trying to fix my Quickbooks entries to reflect all my shopping carts little fees and random deposits, arggghh. I honestly don't know whether to more irritated at Quickbooks or my shopping cart. My reality with shopping carts...fees, fees, and more fees. If anyone knows a wonderful inexpensive shopping cart I am all ears.

Wondering why I am still doing my own books and trying to get them sorted out? Well, I have had bookkeepers but none that have been consistent. I am working with an account right now who I know personally that specializes in getting financials in order and doing sales projections for the upcoming years. I am so excited to get it all together and really start mapping out the direction of These Two Girls and Woobee Kids. She does however encourage me to not pay her to do bookkeeping since her hourly is quite a bit higher than a person who enters receipts and reconciles statements. So I suck it up as a responsible business owner and do it myself. Quite honestly, I am not very good at the whole Quickbooks thing. I just do not find the program very intuitive and often spend more time doing something over because I did not get it right the first time. I have got to suck it up and find a bookkeeper.

Have a great weekend!
