Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Desktop Premier
We utilize QB Desktop Premier for several of our companies. We manage our inventory, all accounting functions and payroll for most of our companies. We like the ability to generate reports by specific dates and not be forced to report based on a calendar month. We just began using QB for a new acquisition that has accounting software including its operational software but wants standardize our financial reporting across all our portfolio companies.
- Specific date reporting - This is especially important when comparing sales for specific holiday seasons.
- The copy feature is very important since we send the exact same orders to various branches of our customers. A very big time saver.
- Credit card processing is so easy and seamless. Pick the customer, amount and you're done!
- I would like to see more standard reports and an easier way to review them. It seems to be a slow process when looking at contributed reports.
- Inventory usage reports need to be more robust and provide some usage projections. We export inventory data to Excel for review and analysis.
- The P&L reports sometimes get a little funky with number alignment.
- QB provides the data for us to prepare our monthly and quarterly banking/partner reports and projections.
We reviewed Sage 50/Peachtree and went with QB because of date flexibility in reporting.
