Hey @Gordon_Basford I don't know if you've already received an answer regarding Quickbooks alternatives.

Depending on your bookkeeping needs, something as simple as Freshbooks might be good for you. Their development team is responsive as well, so if you need them to add a feature, they might be able to help quickly. Customers have also been moving to Quickbooks competitors like Xero, Wave, or Zoho. 

These are some of the leading alternatives right now and almost all will probably be cheaper for you.
