Accounting software

[bluenose1940]

Hello again fellow members.  Here i am again, seeking your recommendations.  Despite what it is I might be asking about, I always seem to get some very helpful input from members and it is always much appreciated.

My question this time revolves around Small Business Accounting Software.  I am about to take over the admin side of my sons plumbing business and am looking for some suitable inexpensive accounting software.

When I was treasurer of the local cricket and football clubs, I was using Sage which is very good but is also fairly expensive.  I contacted Quickbooks but they now only offer on-line subscriptions and that really doesn't appeal to me.  This seems to be the way that Sage works now too. 

The sort of thing that I am looking for, will enable me to be in a position to provide my sons accountants with sufficient information to enable them to prepare the annual accounts without too much additional work.

I am wondering if anyone uses such software and can make any recommendations.

Many thanks in advance of any input.
