Hi everybody! My name is Jamie, and I am one of the minions behind the scenes here. If you see Erin mention one of the crew being sick and in the hospital, chances are it is me.
I just got a feeding tube placed, and will be moving in to long term care in the next few days, so I am hoping that I can be more productive there.
I have a few ideas that might help me help the team, so I'm wondering if some of you might be able to assist.
1) I need to learn QuickBooks. I take one glance at the program and I'm already overwhelmed.
2) Recommendations for project management programs/websites that allow you to have pre-formatted workflows. (preferably cheap, or very low cost)
3) Any suggestions or comments can also be fielded to me if you don't want to overload Erin. :)

[quote]Update 5/31/2018: This piece has been updated to include new free project management software options and the most current information on the original options.
Competition in the free project management software landscape has exploded.
When we first wrote about the best free project management tools in 2014, there were about 50 contenders, ten really strong tools, and six that made our list.
Now, that contender list is at 681 vendors, and we’re highlighting 29 free and open source project management options in this article. Only 4.3% of available project management tools made the cut.[/quote]
some of that quote is links to more detailed info on methodology of testing and the full listing of available options.
Stupidity is a capital offense. A summary not indictable.
Quickbooks - you may not need
Quickbooks - you may not need quickbooks itself, there are lots of other accounting packages. PM me if you don't _have_ to have Intuit software. In any case, QB isn't that overwhelming. It just looks like it to start. There are some tutorials out there, and realistically, it breaks down to only about four sections that are important. The rest is fluff, advanced stuff, specialized tools and reports, etc.
Roughly, you have to set up your accounts; bank, credit card, etc. Then you have to set up your customers and vendors. Then you set up the stuff you're going to sell, and the prices for them. The last part is invoices, checks, and deposits.
In general, the first three are one time deals. The last part is the meat and potatoes.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
