Sage Peachtree Complete Accounting is, as of October 2010, the highest-rated accounting software on the website Top Ten Reviews. Sage Peachtree gets its lowest marks for ease of set-up, as it can be time-consuming and confusing to initially configure. However, it has a huge number of features and includes free help and technical support. The software has a section for accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, inventory, billing, project costs, general ledger, fixed assets, updates and reporting. Sage Peachtree allows users to automate purchase orders and invoice customers by snail mail or by email. You can also automatically check for common accounting errors. Sage Peachtree Complete Accounting 2011 is not available for Macs, but will work with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. A demo version is available.
