I'm sure some of you guys do hosting and also do design solutions on the side. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do the accounting for the company as a whole. I like ModernBill or Perlbill for keeping track of the hosting sales and invoicing, but I'm also going to be doing custom site design and stuff and was considering using QuickBooks or something to keep track of that...so question is: how do you get all the financial information in the same place for reporting? Does anybody do what I'm talking about? If so, how do you do your accounting?

I hope that made some sense. :)

Thanks,

In all likelihood you would probably have to have both an Accounting software and the billing solution. I am not aware of any billing solution that offers integration with an accounting software so the whole process becomes a royal pain. We use Hsphere control panel for billing purposes and Quickbooks for accounting. What we have to do is manually input all the billings generated by Hsphere manually into Quickbooks adjust muti-period transactions according to GAAP input our expenses and reconcile the bank. This can become a full time job when you start hitting 1000 customers mark.
