I was curious to see what other startups are using to track their business expenses, accounting, ect. Is there a service out there like Mint.com that can read your paypal info and chop it up into categories for easy accounting?
If you're not based in the US, then no US based accounting tool will work for you. The americans don't get VAT or multicurrency accounting. Since it's not there from the start, it gets added eventually as a clunky after thought. US companies also very heavily on Yodlee, if your bank isn't in there, you're out of luck. With xero we wrote our own bridge to the bank because they provided an api.
I've got no association with xero, other than being a customer.
I've checked out the suggested sites. I started with Xero, but midway through the beginning of the process of attaching my accounts, I felt like they weren't going to achieve exactly what I wanted. I switched over to indinero and I've just finished attaching my accounts.
Indinero is pretty cool. It's what I wanted, but it has a lot of growing up to do. I'll have to send some feedback over to the guys and suggest some small shortcuts to kill my impatience.
Edit: Double thumbs up though - awesome service you guys have over there!
Business accounting is one of the most non-modern fields I've ever seen.
