detailed summaries of various reports

Being able to customize certain reports to tailor to our needs as a company

Return on Investment

It has allowed us to set financial goals and track them
It has allowed us to provide detailed reports to lenders
Would like to have some additional customizations

Alternatives Considered

Sage Business Cloud Accounting (formerly Sage One Accounting)

Sage is offline, very cumbersome to work with and does not have the type of features that quickbooks has. Sage was pretty horrible to work with. Trying to find reports was awful and running payroll was difficult. Quickbooks is far superior to Sage and would never recommend Sage to anyone.

Likelihood to Recommend

One specific scenario where QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is well suited for is managing our operations side of the real estate business. It allows us to set our budgets, follow those budgets and see in real time where our money is going. This has allowed us to manage the budgets at various facilities and allocate money appropriately to the areas where we are spending it the most or the areas where we need to spend more money on or allocate more money towards. It has helped us see where we have had some trouble spots so that we can address them.

Quickbooks is excellent for all your asset management needs
