Best Accounting Software – Any Recommendations?

Hello everyone,

I am currently in the search for accounting software and there are so many available, I am not quite sure which one is right for me. I don’t want to throw money at something that won’t work for me.

Here it is in context: I need it for business/personal use, and my biggest questions are [ease of use, pricing, features like invoicing and tax tracking, other tools it integrates with, etc.

I’d like to hear from those who are familiar with accounting software:

Which choice is the best one, in your opinion, and why?

What are the comparative advantages and disadvantages?

Do you experience any hidden costs or challenges?

If you’ve experienced this, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts. Which strategies worked, and which would you have done differently?

Thank you in advance for your advice!
