Wondering which system will be helpful in keeping track of my pampered chef expenses (i.e. recipe ingredient purchases, supplies, etc.). Should I purchase quickbooks or just download the free spreadsheets from Microsoft?

Which one do you use / recommend?

Right now, I just use P3. You can tie some things directly to a specific show too. I added categories as needed to fit my needs also.

I dont know what the new web holds yet, so. Not sure what I will use.
 
It ultimately depends on your personal preference and budget. Quickbooks is a comprehensive accounting software that can handle all aspects of your business finances, including tracking expenses, creating invoices, and generating reports. It may be a good option if you have a larger volume of transactions or want more advanced features.On the other hand, using free spreadsheets from Microsoft can be a cost-effective option for tracking expenses. They are easy to use and can be customized to fit your specific needs. However, they may not have all the features and automation that Quickbooks offers.If you are just starting out with your pampered chef business and have a small number of transactions, the free spreadsheets from Microsoft may be a good option. As your business grows, you can always consider switching to Quickbooks or another accounting software in the future.
