Recommendations for small business accounting software

[Matthew Keller]

Hi everyone-

I am a real estate investor / licensed contractor.  My primary focus is the purchase, rehab, and sale of SFHs. On the side I do pickup some customer projects when it makes sense.  I share this because this creates multiple streams of income and the need for invoice generation.

I have a technical background and am very savvy with Excel.  To date I have been running everything out of a fairly sophisticated excel sheet... but I know there is a better way.

It doesn't take many searches to see the internet really likes to push Quickbooks.  I am curious about other's experience in this area.  I would prefer something cloud based, with maximum compatibility.  Also mileage tracking would be a plus!

It would be nice for the software to understand some aspects about the construction industry but this is not a deal breaker.  Everything I do is fairly typical for a small business.

Thanks in advance for your responses,
-Matt K
