Reviews
(1-4 of 4)QB for Leading Edge Firms
- Integrated credit card processing - posts automatically to customer accounts, allows online payment. It uses the most current technology.
- It maintains a good strong history of billing and collections and provides collection letters and assistance when you have past due amounts to collect.
- It allows you to download credit card transactions and post into the software automatically. It is easy to track spending details with this process.
- I would like to be able to choose how i want to view accounts receivable aging. I would like some flexibility to sort and choose how to present the data.
- For a seasoned accountant, I would like to see some of the restrictive controls that are in place for novices to be able to be relaxed so that I can easily make some entries and adjust some balances that ordinarily a regular user would not be able to do.
- I would like to see an easy way to clear old outstanding checks that need to be reversed without affecting prior balances/history.

Non-profits will benefit, subject to a few workarounds
- Intuitive interface.
- The many add-on products available (from Intuit and third parties) allows for customization and flexibility.
- Price provides functionality at a good value.
- I would like to see the ability to record more than one account receivable account and/or account payable account in the same transaction.
- I would like to see more non-profit specific functionality, such as the ability to account for housing allowances within payroll.
- Another piece of non-profit functionality I would like to see would be the ability to create and e-mail donor statements with my organization's comments and the necessary IRS disclosures.
