I've heard people talking about using Quickbooks or other bookkeeping software, and I'm unclear why. I'm running a business in Israel, and we have an accountant and bookkeeper. Once a month we send all receipts/invoices to the bookkeeper, who deals with everything. I get reports a few weeks later. I never have to touch any software. Is this not standard practice in the U.S.? It seems many people talk about using Quickbooks. Alternatively, am I missing something by not doing the books myself? In general, I still have some issues in understanding the finer points of our finances, and I'm still looking for ways to get better insight into our cashflow, revenue, etc.
