BQE Core

Overall Satisfaction with BQE Core

Our highest use and priority are for invoicing. The program allows us to move time round and adjust rates as needed. It's great for record keeping and tracking expenses, payments and invoice history. It has room for improvement, especially the search features, but BQE Core is frequently making improvements. It could be faster. Customer support is always available and helps me with any questions I have and with ways to use the program better. I would recommend this product for any business billing on a timely basis.
  • Time and expenses - tracking and inputting
  • Invoicing and billing - excellent for time based accounting
  • Record keeping - able to look at client history (we have clients that have projects ongoing for years)
  • Speed - needs to be quicker
  • Frustration with having to "re" search after entering an invoice. It would be great if it would complete the invoice on the same screen rather than having to go back to invoices, search for the invoice you just entered and having to "Preview" to send.
  • Complicated
  • Save time on billing
  • Able to move time & expenses on phases easily
  • Billing history details
Still using QBO - integrated with BQE Core - may eventually cross over to everything being done on CORE. Integration is not the easiest.n I know there are billing programs that are set up to communicate back and forth with Quickbooks.

Works well for our needs. BQE Core is always making improvements. Customer support is always helpful and knowledgeable, but wish it was easier to figure things out on my own.
