Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Premier
QuickBooks Premier is used to manage accounting for multiple companies; provide invoicing, prepare financials and annual accounting for tax returns. All business clients are using QuickBooks Pro or Premier. 10% use QuickBooks Online. It tracks income and expenses and allows clients to process payroll checks and returns. It is user friendly, offers easy file transfer, and many helpful adjustment features for accountants to use for review.
- Allows accountant's copy or portable file transfer so the accountant can work in the file while the client continues to use it. Files can easily be shared through secure Intuit server, email, or secure file transfer such as Dropbox.
- Offers relatively easy payroll calculations within the software that clients can manage on their own.
- Using bank feeds and downloads speeds up the monthly accounting process or entering large amounts of data at once.
- Inventory feature is very poor and not designed for novice users.
- Accountants' have the ability to correct multiple transactions relatively easily but regular users do not.
- It allows inexperienced users to make adjustments or post to accounts that are in error. The accountant must spend time correcting the mistakes at the client's expense.
- ProAdvisor offers online referrals.
- Increased efficiency with long term use and memorized transactions.
- Clients are pleased with the level of customer service offered and will refer new clients.
Have used Peachtree but it is much more expensive, doesn't offer multiple years in same data file and is not as user friendly. It requires a monthly close each month which is cumbersome for smaller clients.
