Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Premier

My organization provides free, one on one business advising for small businesses. I provide small businesses with training and problem solving for their bookkeeping and financial management needs. I assist them in assessing their needs and help them decide on a bookkeeping method/tool and then often assist them with the set up of their system.
  • Very user friendly; adaptable to almost any type of business
  • Intuitive data entry forms
  • Powerful and customizable reporting capabilities
  • The inventory functionality is limited. QuickBooks Pro and Premier use average cost, with no option for other cost methods. This limitation is most significant for manufacturers, who may need to consider QuickBooks Enterprise for more options.
  • QuickBooks has allowed my small business clients take control of their financial management even if they aren't accounting experts.
I've used Peachtree several years ago and found it very confusing and not user friendly. Clients with little accounting knowledge couldn't handle it at all. QuickBooks is easy to learn and easy to use. There are also many sources of support for QuickBooks users.
The biggest question is what are the inventory accounting and valuation needs of the business? If the business can accept average cost inventory valuation, then QuickBooks Premiere will probably be a good choice.
