Main Street Software

Main Street Software is a provider of accounting solutions, as well as a focus on Sage ERP and ALERE business applications. In practice that means recording transactions, reconciling banks and producing financial statements.

Who is it for? Mostly small businesses and their accountants. Alongside the main category they mention Accounting, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Technical Support. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Main Street Software is based in Landisville, Pennsylvania. More on mssinc.com.

Things worth asking about: bank feeds, multi-entity support, and accountant access. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.
