I run a small landscaping business and I'm trying to get more organized this season. Currently, I'm juggling payments, receipts, and job costs with a mix of notes, email, and spreadsheets. While it works, it's messy, and I'm worried about tax season if I don't get things sorted soon. I need accounting software that's easy to use without a bunch of unnecessary features. Ideally, it would allow me to track income and expenses, send invoices for larger jobs, and keep everything in one convenient spot to avoid digging through paperwork later. If anyone has good suggestions for simple tools that work well for a small operation, I would really appreciate it!

Wave Apps and Xero are also great options! I've seen a lot of small businesses in my area using those. They offer user-friendly interfaces and essential features without overwhelming you.
You might want to try bookkeeping.ai. It automatically categorizes entries and can grab receipts from your email. Plus, if you're in the US or Canada, it connects with your bank and simplifies invoicing and follow-ups. It’s super handy!
I suggest checking out QuickBooks. It’s popular among small businesses and should cover everything you need for tracking expenses and invoicing.
