    I do most of my business transactions through PayPal (yay?) and for the end of the year taxes should I get quickbooks to make it easier? Or is PayPal all I need?

    I have invoices etc linked from WHMCS to paypal so paypal has EVERYTHING business wise... So I really don't know.

    Just make sure you download a monthly csv file from paypal and import it into an excel spreadsheet. Then at the end of the year just use excel to sort the transactions by tyupe and total each group - easy.

    Paypal have the whole transaction of your account.
    You can view it under the history and select the date to start.
