Accounting Softwares – What Small Businesses Need in 2025
Searching for the best accounting softwares for your small business? In 2025, the choices are endless — but only a few truly meet the needs of growing small businesses. Whether you’re switching systems or starting fresh, this article breaks down your best options and how LangBookkeeping LLC supports them all.
What Are Accounting Softwares?
“Accounting software” is a digital tool that tracks income, expenses, and financial records for your business. You’ve likely heard of tools like:
- QuickBooks Online
- FreshBooks
- Xero
- Sage Accounting
- Wave (for freelancers and micro-businesses)
Key Features to Look For
The best accounting softwares will include:
- Bank connection and transaction import
- Invoicing and billing tools
- Payroll integrations (or the ability to connect with Gusto, ADP, etc.)
- Automated reporting (P&L, Balance Sheet)
- Multi-user access for you and your bookkeeper/accountant
Real-World Example:
A retail shop in Florida was using spreadsheets and a free invoicing app. After switching to QuickBooks Online, we automated their sales tracking, connected their bank account, and saved them 15+ hours/month.
Common Mistakes When Choosing Accounting Software
- Picking a tool that doesn’t scale with your business
- Overpaying for features you don’t need
- Not setting it up correctly from day one
That’s why we always recommend starting with a call. We help you pick the right software and then keep it running smoothly.

FAQs – Accounting Softwares
Which accounting software is best for small businesses?
QuickBooks Online is the most popular, but others like Xero and FreshBooks are great depending on your industry and budget.
Can I switch software mid-year?
Yes, though you’ll want help migrating your data. We handle transitions so nothing gets lost or duplicated.
What if I already have accounting software but it’s a mess?
No problem. We offer clean-up bookkeeping services and monthly plans to get your records back on track.
