I am trying to figure out the best way to go about this. I have been doing daycare 1-1/2 years and last year I used Quickbooks and did splits (broke down all of the paper goods, art supplies, groceries, cleaning supplies, toys etc) on all of my receipts. My computer crashed and although I thought I had backed up all of my data we are unable to find it. It shows the right date but nothing is there past 12/2009. So, my question is, do you break down your receipts like or do you do it another way? Doing splits on all of my receipts will honestly take an incredible amount of time since I am essentially starting over from January. I know there are other ways mentioned in the Record Keeping Guide but I am curious as to how everyone else does their food/cleaning/supply costs. I know there has to be an easier way. Please help, any suggestions or information is greatly appreciated.
