Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is the only finance program we use. Being able to create documents and templates allows us to bill directly within the program. Using Items we can do detail[ed] job costing. Being able to reconcile bank and credit cards by directly downloading the information from the financial institutions saves a lot of time.
  • Number of Vendors and Customers.
  • Ability to have several company files.
  • Batch Entry of bills.
  • being able to drill down from summary reports.
  • Being able to see the history of a transaction.
  • Warning you of double entry of invoice number, check numbers etc.
  • Would like the dollar amount to fill in when you are using items like it does when you are using expenses.
  • To be able to add items when using bank feed to jobs and items.
  • Be able to edit jobs as a sub account of a client after the job has been created.
  • Be able to import company letterhead as a template to be used for collections.
  • Work in Progress report.
  • You have to have a system that allows you to see detail and this does.
  • If you want a successful business you have to have a powerhouse.
  • QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is all inclusive, not like other programs that sell modules.
We have experience[d] a large growth in our business in a fairly short time. Quickbooks has been able to continue to meet our needs and it is seamless.
Since I have used the program for several years it was completed in less than one hour. However, it is easy to teach people that are doing simple AR and AP roles.
One of the many great things is that for people that have never set up a company financial software program are able to have a prefilled chart of accounts created automatically based on the business type.
Being able to transfer accountant versions, and also transferring to Turbo Tax.
In my opinion, there is no accounting program that stacks up against QuickBooks, [and] I have been in corporate finance for over 35 years.
