@Ryan RuncheyAside from DIY approach and the outsourcing approach, there is a middle way, and it may be just be the golden path for many newer investors.There are companies that will set up your account, customize it according to your needs, train you on how to maintain your own books, and help with support or troubleshooting when problems arise.
