Subject: Consulting/Small business software
Hi John,

While in Hawaii, I used StarOffice. Not elegant, by any means, but
it's free (beer). I simply set up my spreadsheet columns to match
the categories on Schedule C (and the State Sales Tax form), and made
chronological entries in the rows. At the bottom of the sheet was a
sum() function to add up the columns. Since it was a sole
proprietorship, I had far less paperwork than a corporation. If you
want to pursue this, you should be able to find some Excel spreadsheets
on the Internet that will work for you.

Over the past two months, I have started my own consulting business which is now my bread and butter, but I am having trouble finding software to manage the administrative aspects of the business. When I have asked around, the answer I get is quickbooks. My goal is to find software like this that runs on linux. Software that is GPL would be my first choice, but I would be interested in non GPL software as long as the price tag is not outragious.
