Does anyone know of a simple accounting program I can use to help me determine how much profit/loss my business made last year?

Not being well organized with recording my business transactions from the beginning has caught up with me and I really need assistance with filing my 2008 taxes. I have plenty of receipts and invoices (in a big pile, ugh!! ) I have no idea what to do with and it just all seems too overwhelming for me. :( What do I do with them? Is there an easier way for me to keep records (bank statements, cash receipts, purchase invoices, etc... )?

Sorry for being such a novice at this but I'm pretty much going at this alone, so any help is much appreciated!!

Thanks in advance for your replies! :)

At this stage a cheaper and better solution may be to outsource book keeping and statement filing activities.

You can also try the free online accounting software, Numia (http://numia.biz) for your business transactions. It provides an easy way to keep users accounts information online with reliable and secured data transfer. With easy forms for invoicing, purchase and bank reconciliation it is easy to maintain accounts.

Quickbooks is a pretty good program for a small company and is pretty easy to use.
