i started off with pastel entry level...but because i had 2 computer i was told i had to upgrade...so i spent the R3600 buying the higher version...and thats were it stopped ...it just became too much of a mission to try learn the program...instead i went and got a bookeeper to do my books...spending around R10 000 a year getting them done...but i still cant tell you if my bussiness is running at a profit or loss nor can i tell you what i should do to improve my finacial situation.

so here is my question....i have decided to start up the cc again and i want to know whether it would be a good idea to use the pastel program...

get someone to set it up on my pc...

i will only be offering services

i will not be vat registered

how difficult is it to run a pastel program if you have support?

do i need to upgrade the pastel on my pc?

lastly would it not pay me to rather just get a cheaper easier program like quickbooks(if it is easier)...i dont have any experience with either program...please advise.
