If anyone is interested, you can download a free copy of quickbooks simple start, which is the most basic version they have to get a feel for it. It is VERY basic, but allows the most common uses. With the option to upgrade later. We are using that at the moment determining if we would like the added features of the pro versions. I use quicken for my personal finances, may look at that for business finances as well. Here is the link
