If you own a small business and don't need to stress about formal reporting under commonly accepted accounting regulations (GAAP), FreshBooks (freshbooks.com) may be the right choice for you.

It doesn't use double-entry accounting but it has a useful invoicing and time tracking tool.

Although this software is a great option if you want to keep things basic and don't want to worry about learning a lot of accounting it doesn't offer product recordkeeping or inventory tracking, and it lacks expansive customer records.

It's truly for a freelancer or sole proprietor who has basic accounting needs.
