Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Quickbooks Premier Contractor's Version is being used in our organization to track sale estimates and/or proposals for both commercial and residential clientele. It is also utilized as the primary accounting software to track income, expense, and financials. It allows us to easily pull historical estimates and/or proposals that might be re-activated and produce actual business revenue. It also allows us to quickly provide accounting information to the corporate accountant for year-end functions.

Pros and Cons

Estimates
Invoicing
Reports

Income Tracker and batch transaction ability especially with in-activating old estimate/proposals.
Allowing the user to specify page breaks.
Backup naming conventions should be set to increment automatically instead of deleting previous versions.

Return on Investment

It is frustrating when printing estimates that might be lengthy and not have the ability to either auto fit or adjust the page visibly.

Alternatives Considered

QB Premier allows us to better track from a cost accounting standpoint and is easy for the average user to understand.

Other Software Used

Microsoft Access, Microsoft Office 2016, Adobe Illustrator CC

Likelihood to Recommend

I believe the online version is somewhat adequate for small business only without many transactions. Any business with over 25 customers should be referred to the desktop version. First, because the online version does not have the same capabilities as the desktop version, and secondly there are usually far more transactions and multiple invoices.
