Accounting software reccomendations

Hi All ,

I'm just wondering what software people would recommend using.

I've just started up and at present I'm using excel spread sheets to do all my work but I think I need to start looking at software packages as my client base is growing and I want to make the transition sooner rather than later.

I'm sure that there are lots of factors to consider when choosing the best one but as a rough guide most of my clients are sole traders dealing with cash transactions and a couple of small limited companies.

Price is also a factor as, because I've just started I haven't got much money to spend yet!

Any help would be great as I've no idea where to start!

Thanks
