There are various accounting and business management software available which can be overwhelming for any manager to pick the right one for their specific firm. If you already hired external accounting services, then you need not worry about investing in software as they will have one. But if you have an internal accounting team, then you need to pick the right accounting software. This is a crucial factor as some packages are branded as the best for every business, size or type while some are tailored to be more business-specific. Almost all softwares can handle basic accounting functions effectively. The real difference in the softwares include user interfaces, add-on functions and special features.

There is no sensible way to rate accounting softwares without refining them. No accounting softwares are perfect for all users/businesses. This list focuses on medium-sized businesses ($05m – $250m) and softwares designated as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) for advanced business management.
