Can anyone recommend a user-friendly JAWS-accessible business/bookkeeping
software product? I've tried QuickBooks and JAWS wasn't amused.



Thanks.

I fear you are unlikely to find a suitable product. All the accounting
packages we have used have been appallingly unusable even for fully able
users. Sage are probably the worst so don't even bother going there. We are
using MYOB at the moment but it's also dreadful and I would like to change
if only we could find anything better.

I suspect that your best bet would be a web-based application rather than a
desktop application, but I have no idea if any good ones are available. That
also raises the security issue of all your accounts details being held by
someone else.

Thanks for the feedback.

I was wondering if you or anyone else has experience with Accomplish Cash
Manager (http://us.accomplishglobal.com/) - it seems to claim to be an
accessible bookkeeping software program...

Best.

Howdy,

Last week I heard of some emergent work around JAWs scripts and QuickBooks,
although I am unsure of where that stands today. I will reach out to my
contact and see if I can find out more details. Stand by for more.

Cheers!

JF

I have talked to people who I trust, who say that it is accessible.
