Anyone use Excel or Access for bookkeeping?

[5 Little Monkeys]

I am soooo old school LOL. I have all my policies and contract online and send those to the parents to read before we meet but than I have all my forms printed out and they sign them and I put those into folders. When they leave, I give them all their info back except for my copy of the contract.

I keep all my receipts in envelopes and 3-4x a year I add them all up and at the end of the year I add up those 3-4 totals to get my grand total for each area. Then I give all that to my tax preparer and she does my taxes for me.

I have a payment sheet for each family and every payday, I mark down how much they paid, how they paid (cash or cheque) and we both initial it. Then at year end I add that up and give them a receipt.

I am technology stupid (and I'm only 27 LOL) and prefer to do things on paper.
