    Sup Clutchfans,

    My mid-sized company is interested in getting a new accounting system (for 100+ employees).

    Any CPAs/others know of any good ones to invest in?

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    Most of my clients use Quickbooks, and it is what I recommend, since its the most widely used in the profession, but it may not meet your needs. The clients I work directly with aren't your size. It depends a lot on what your company does and what you want/need from your program. Make sure you discuss it with your CPA, because its important to have a program your CPA knows, or can learn.

    What type of company is it? Quickbooks is good for basic accounting needs, but there are a lot of drawbacks/limitations to using a quickbooks system.

    I also recommend Quickbooks for basics, however, as pointed out, depending on the industry there are lots of specific programs.

    An example would by my wife's office, where they have an industry specific O&G software package for their accounting that also deals with all the land lease stuff, can handle all the partnership stuff for the royalties, etc. They use this AND Quickbooks for all the basic office book keeping as well.

    I'll write you a custom made accounting system for a reasonably cheap price.
