Seconding QuickBooks – it’s the right call for most startups. The ecosystem around it is mature enough that your bookkeeper, CPA, and any lenders you work with will all speak the same language, which matters more than people realize early on.
The one thing I’d add to the “hire a bookkeeper” advice: do it sooner than you think you need to. Most business owners come to us after they’ve got a year or two of messy books that need cleaning up, and that cleanup costs more than just staying current would have. Getting set up right in QBO from day one is cheap insurance.
