Book keeping.

[SuperDave2U]

In an effort to track my spending better I spent the last year charting my daily expenses in a spread sheet. The way I have it set up is one "sheet" for each month, with new months starting at the balance of the last.

There's a total after each day, including future days, that takes into account the scheduled charges or deposits for that day along with my expenses with a days ending balance noted too.

I've started to script a web app to do this stuff for me(Storing multiple charges/deposits per day, future dates, running total) because I haven't been able to find anything out there that works for me the way I need it to. Anyone know of something that will do this simple stuff and save me the programming time? Something that isn't cluttered with expense reports, budgets, grafts, charts, etc?

Enter the modern age with Quickbooks or Peachtree...

Maybe. Here are a couple of ideas, most are free.

1. mint.com
2. youneedabudget.com
3. gnucash.org
4. pearbudget.com
5. zoho.com
6. creativeprooffice.com

But you would still need to customize it for your own purposes.

I use quickbooks but it's a hassle manually entering everything in. I think I'm going to work on some automation script to login to myspace, facebook and the affiliate networks to keep track of some of the accounting.

I use the old fashion way just use excel...

Can just import your CC charges to quickbooks. Won't break down by campaign though. We're dev'ing something in house to to manage all this stuff. Now imagine having 5-10 people all running traffic on your CC's and credit and then trying to monitor them all. It's quite a nightmare at this point. So there's a huge need for something.
