I’m starting out, and I don’t really know much about accounting or making sure the money is done properly. Is accounting software easy to use for someone who doesn’t know much about it? Or should I just bite the bullet and find an accountant to deal with it for me? Especially when tax-time comes?

If you are running a business you should have an accountant to make sure you are tracking things correctly and getting the most out of tax benefits.
You don’t have to have an in house one, use an external one and if you do have trouble tracking stuff a book keeper is who you should think of hiring inhouse.
