What is the best software to manage Business Finances?

I have a New Start up company and I am trying to find good software to help with the Financial Bookeeping part of it all.

-- Quickbooks is an inexpensive starter kit and is most comonly used by bookkeepers.
-- Microsoft Money has a good migration path (Quick Books or similar -> Small Business Accounting -> Great Plains)
-- GnuCash is free and robust (used on Linux systems)
-- Standard green 3-column notebooks are often enough for the first month or two.

Before you get too overwhelmed with startup administrativa (not that I have anything about keeping good accounts), read The Art of the Start by Guy Kawasaki (Apple's head marketing guy during its first 20 years and garage.com's founder). Great stuff. It'll keep you focused, alive, and on a good track as you get going.

Best of Luck!

Quickbooks is absolutely the best!
