    Does anyone have advice about bookkeeping for jewelers? One of the
    things that I have found to be the most daunting about starting a
    business is keeping track of the items that I am purchasing for my
    business. 

    I saw that some people are using Quickbooks and Quickbooks for
    jewelers, but I am leery of purchasing a Quicken program, because I
    am really bad at the Quicken/Microsoft Money programs. Also, I have
    heard that Quickbooks charges a ton of fees and I would like to buy
    something that I can pay for ONCE and that's it. I dont want a
    program that is already quite expensive and then will start nickel
    and diming me for years to come. I also am hesitant to try the
    program that Rio is selling, because it is not as widely used as
    Office and Quicken and I want a program that allows me to work with
    Microsoft Office. 

    Does anyone have advice about such a program? It has gotten to the
    point that I sometimes forget what I paid for the finding/stone
    components of an item and then am unsure about what to charge for it
    when it is time to sell. 

Thanks in advance for your response(s).
