Annual traditional plan with license, monthly, and annual subscription plans available.
The programs i reviewed and evaluated were Peachtree, QB online, Xero and Intacct.
The reason I continue to use QB is that i know the program and understand its strengths and weaknesses. Peachtree was much more cumbersome to implement and …
Have used Peachtree but it is much more expensive, doesn't offer multiple years in same data file and is not as user friendly. It requires a monthly close each month which is cumbersome for smaller clients.
QuickBooks' user-interface and features are better than that of other accounting systems we have encountered so far. It is easier to navigate through accounting modules and reports even for bookkeeping beginners.
The low end SAGE products were too difficult to use to train the clients. QuickBooks is easier to train. Dynamics is far more sophistication than what my clients need.
I've used Peachtree several years ago and found it very confusing and not user friendly. Clients with little accounting knowledge couldn't handle it at all. QuickBooks is easy to learn and easy to use. There are also many sources of support for QuickBooks users.
Quickbooks contractor version does not provide good job costing reports. Also, the journal entry feature is not set up for entry of items. Intuit has some work to do to compared to Sage 50 products.
