I know that many businesses use Quicken and QuickBooks but they sound rather elaborate for what I want, which is a simple piece of software to chronicle gigs-income, and jot down expenses and mileage...
Anybody know of a small-time share or freeware option or do I go for the whole megilla with Quick Books? I don't just love learning whole new programs because they are so damn cool, in case you hadn't noticed (I spend 8 hours a day on the computer as it is)....
Comments welcome.
Any musician gig/expense software?

Weeks, have a look at this excel file. You can have some useful hints. I have everything well under control.
Good weekend all

That would be my reccomendation as well.eskin wrote:I keep track of everything in an Excel spreadsheet, but my requirements are pretty basic.
Excel is easy to learn and you can program functions to do damn near anything you want to.

Sounds like Excel or a similar spreadsheet can do all you need.
Open Office is freeware that includes a spreadsheet module that can save files in Excel format. Open Office is about 26 megabytes to download.
I believe Google also has something where a person can do spreadsheets and save the data files online. I would be hesitant to use that for sensitive financial information.

Thanks so far. I do happen to have Excel here at work even though it's kind of mysterious and Microsofty. So it's definitely an option... I was wondering if some kind of Mac-y musician had come up with a groovy interface.
Thanks to Syl, too. That is an entertaining adaptation of the file...
