Keep the IRS and yourself happy with records that are 100% verifiable and retrievable!

Why do you need Keeping the Books if you have accounting software? 

Even the simplest software requires that you understand and apply some basic accounting terms and principles. Your information must be correctly input into accounting software or you will not be able to generate the financial reports that you will need for business analysis and for tax reporting. Keeping the Books goes that extra mile to keep you from becoming a "garbage in, garbage out" computer user.
