I need to get some accounting software. I’ve been doing it old skool - ledgers and pencil. But I’m spending too much time on it and having trouble keeping up with receivables.

I have a design/handyman business. I have about 3 main clients that give about 95% of my work. I need a program that generates invoices, keeps up with hours and expenses and keeps up with receivables. It would be nice if it helped me organize my info at tax time too.

I don’t need anything huge or complex, I’m a one man operation. Also, I’m not really all that computer savvy.

I’ve been reading about [FreshBooks.](http://www.freshbooks.com/) They look like they might be good _ **if** _ I can keep my client list to 3 or less. Does anyone have any experience with this program? Can anyone recommend an alternate software?
