I’ve used Quickbooks, but it was some time ago now… I’m sure it’s version these days looks quite different, and I was always on PCs.
I was an accounting tech for years. Most of these software packages do exactly what you’re needing plus a couple dozen other things.
There are a few things you need to remember. Set it up right first. If you want to utilise these systems to their best advantage, use them to manage all your accounts, not just pieces of it. If you are going to run your accounts receivable on it (like you’re talking about-just invoicing and keeping track of who owes you money.) you should have your bank account on it and be reconciling your bank account with it, and then you can also run your accounts payable on it and keep track of your expenses. I loved doing bank reconciliation. It was so satisfying when I balanced and if there was an error somewhere, it was an opportunity to fix it so I knew all my information was accurate.
I mostly used MYOB and really liked it. The menus were pretty intuitive and mistakes could be easily fixed if I posted something wrong (I started accounting in the days of DOS based programs and I HATED doing journal entries to fix mistakes! so nerve wracking)
Sales tax reports can be run from them if done properly and it can save you HUNDREDs at the end of the year if you’re bringing your books to an accountant.
I’m happy to answer any questions privately and confidentially, but like I said, it’s been a few years.
