Invoicing with Ledger Sheets

[parkernathan]

I'm looking for a better alternative to QuickBooks for Mac to do my invoicing & purchase orders with, & I was wondering if Excel 2008 would be a good replacement for QuickBooks or should I go with a dedicated invoicing app such as Billings? I'm upgrading to Office 2008 soon & was wondering should I just use Excel or would a dedicated invoicing app be better.

Thanks!
Nathan

Excel can handle invoicing, and has a lot of templates to do this and other
business tasks. However, by itself, it is not an accounting system. You will
have to link workbooks together, and possibly develop some scripts to form a
complete system for your needs. If you are now willing or able to do this, a
"packaged system" may be better for you.

Thanks a bunch for your help! I figured that Excel would be able to do invoicing, but a dedicated invoicing app such as Billings would be better off for me. I have Excel 2004 & Numbers on my Mac & Microsoft Works on a PC right now & I still needed to go to QuickBooks. I'm about to test drive Billings & will probably go with it. I'm still upgrading to Office 2008, but am glad to know how Excel's invoicing is.

Thanks!
