Using QuickBooks Premier

1 - Perfect to use as a writeup program
1 - You can use the program even if you aren't an accounting professional.
  • Tracking receivables
  • Tracking expenses
  • It is also used as a customer contact data base.
  • Quickbooks can also be used to track employee time. You can then bill the time without leaving the program
I've been using Quickbooks since 1998 and wouldn't dream of switching

Evaluating QuickBooks Premier and Competitors

  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
I needed a quick and easy product. QuickBooks fit the bill. I've used it ever since and wouldn't give it up. It's become an invaluable management tool.
I would not change anything.

QuickBooks Premier Implementation

You should implement Quickbooks in stages if you have multiple users.
  • Implemented in-house
Change management was minimal - The program is generally very easy to install for a single user. Network installation is more complicated and may require professional help.
  • We needed to conform our receivables management to Quickbooks flow.
  • Vendor information needed to entered
  • customer information needed to entered

QuickBooks Premier Training

  • Self-taught
Accounting professionals should have no trouble using and understanding the software. There are many courses and books out there for those who do have problems with the software.

Configuring QuickBooks Premier

Just right for this type of product. There are many preferences that you edit to customize the program. For example you edit reports so they appear as cash or accrual basis each time. It also allows periods to be closed so accountants will not have the problem of a user changing numbers from a period that has already been filed.
The configuration is a key element of the software. I would recommend customizing the report basis, year end closing date, accounting preference prior to using the program. The chart of accounts can be easily edited along with the item list. This also should be done prior to using the program and continuously monitored after you begin use age.
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
No - we have not done any custom code
