Question: MySQL or spreadsheet for small business bookkeeping?

I recently partnered in a small business that has a few hundred transactions a month, and I am keeping records of sales and expenses in a spreadsheet. I am thinking about using MySQL instead of the spreadsheet, but don’t know if it would be a better tool for this purpose, or if it is worth the time it will take for setup.

I considered QuickBooks, but we do most of our transactions on PayPal, and it won’t download the complete information, and so I would have to manually edit transactions.

Anybody have any experience with this?

Answer: I like Quicken for small business transactions. If I had to choose between SQL and a spreadsheet, I would probably choose SQL because it has more of a database nature and less likely to lose records when you cut and paste, etc.

You could also consider an Access database.
