Very good accounting package

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise tracks data, very well. It's generally stable, crashes can usually be attributed to a network interruption or some other machine error. The data file updates with each transaction, so if there is a crash, it's not necessary to go back and see what transactions have to be re-entered. The reporting is quick, easy, reliable. It's keyboard friendly, so in most cases, the use of a mouse is not required.

I used QuickBooks Desktop in the 1990s with a very small company. I then moved to a larger company and brought it in almost immediately. In 2000 I moved to a larger company, used QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise again and at each level, the software has been proficient and now with a company with 20 times the revenue and 5 times the staff, QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise still handles everything required of it.

Each time I've set up QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise the process has been straight-forward and intuitive. The amount of setup time is dependent on familiarity and volume of information. The first time I used it, I was in a very small company and the setup was simple. After that, with familiarity with the product, it was only a matter of inputting the required information to give the software a basis from which to work. So, the setup process is pretty simple but there may be a lot of information to input to allow it to work.

With QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise information is available for taxes, history, customer disputes, vendor disputes, anything that comes up. I have yet to run into a situation where a check we've written, an invoice we've paid, a bill we've sent, an internal transfer we've made has not been available for viewing, when required.
