Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Premier

Quickbooks is used by many of our clients to do their bookkeeping. We also use it for our bookkeeping clients.
  • Ease of operation - clients with minimal accounting skills can get data entered in system with limited training.
  • File is portable and can be exchanged easily.
  • Payroll processing is easy.
  • Processing payroll tax payments seems to be difficult for clients - they tend to write checks to pay for payroll liabilities and we have to adjust.
  • Sales tax processing is a weakness of the system.
  • Inventory processing is a weakness of the system.
  • QuickBooks allows us to serve our customers well in bookkeeping - and in acquiring those skills on customers we do onsite - that helps us coach our clients on how to best operate their system.
Peachtree
A very large or complex business may need more functionality - most normal operations we deal with fit the software well.
