Hi. My wife is a self employed Pilates Instructor. Today we saw our accountant who said in future all records of Clients accounts/attendance/payments need to be shown electronically. Currently she has a clipboard/ring binder with blank forms which she records lesson attendance and coarse payments. She then records money in on an Excel spreadsheet. I’d have thought our basic accounting would suffice but it seems not.

It seems we need to get high tech, so is there a tablet/lap top and software you’d recommend which will allow very quick and easy recording of attendance and payments. I thought having a touch screen and stylus pen type of thing might help. It wants to be compatible with Excel to make submitting to the accountant easy.

Also, it only has to perform these basic functions so we do not need the latest super-dooper Apple thingamajig and want to spend as little as possible.

Sorry we are so hopeless with technology so any tips or recommendations will be gratefully received.

TIA

Darren
