Well suited for small business
- Ease of entering vendor invoices as well as credits
- Simplicity of reconciling accounts
- One problem I found unexpectedly was that when you are using the Multi-User feature, your reporting is not 100% accurate which can cause problems at times
- I've upgraded my computer recently to OS 10.7 and have had a few times when my Quick Books quits unexpectedly. This is frustrating and also makes me nervous that I'm losing information
- QBooks has allowed us to increase our productivity time because of the simplicity of entries
- Ease of pulling various reports needed for review for both my company as well as my accountant
- Account Receivables
- Accounts Payables
- General Accountant Needs
- When we first starting using QuickBooks, we used it for entry level tasks only. However as we grew comfortable with it, we continued to expand our use of the program

QuickBooks for Mac - Great for Many Small Businesses, But Its Not the Only Program on the Block
- The user interface is very "Mac-like" and yet QB for Windows users will be able to find most functions quickly, especially via the menus, as their layout is similar to the Windows version
- If your accountant and/or bookkeeper uses QuickBooks for Windows, your file can be easily passed over to them after saving it as a Windows backup. You can also import journal entries they create on the Windows version directly into your company file.
- The "Company Snapshot" function gives a great one-screen overview of your company's finances including profitability and receivable and payables.
- The inventory function works but lacks units of measure, assembly items, price levels, and current availability functions.
- The payroll imports from Intuit Online Payroll, so it is not completely integrated and provides no mechanism for assigning labor costs to jobs. You have to do your own journal entries in order to add those costs to jobs.
- There is no Accountant's version, so your accountant or bookkeeper cannot work on a copy of your file and then import changes into your company file. However, this is less of a drawback than it might sound, since the Windows implementation of this is fraught with problems as well. Just ask any accountant or bookkeeper who uses it regularly. The new facility to import journal entries from the Windows version is very nice.
- There is no SDK for developers, so there are no third-party applications available to add functionality like improved inventory, CRM, point-of-sale, etc. Does not even integrate with QuickBooks Point of Sale.
- It has helped many of my clients get a much better handle on their finances in real time to improve profitability and to grow their business faster.
- It has allowed simple integration with accountants and bookkeepers for many of my clients, saving them money overall on both keeping their books and in their overall tax burden.
- AccountEdge,QuickBooks Online,Xero,Wave Accounting,QuickBooks Pro
- We love Macs!
- Intuit is the most common accounting software
- It is easy to use and satisfies most small=business needs
