QuickBooks gives you a quick start to your new business
Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Pro
We use QuickBooks Pro to collect time, bill hours for invoicing, collections, payroll and accounts payable. We send out a monthly statement with finance charges. We track customers by rep and class. We pay bonuses to staff based on their billing. We print checks and paychecks.
Pros
- I like how you can track direct charges to a client, and then be able to pull them into the invoice
- You can see time by client, and revenue by client -- but not at the same time
- The mapping of items to revenue accounts can be used to track lines of business, or sales by state
- Tremendous depth for the price
- Invoice forms are customizable
Cons
- Time tracking can provide chargeablilty, but not realization by staff
- Reports can be filtered and saved, but the filters cannot be transferred to another report, they have to be recreated in the new report
- Pro limits company file to 3 users -- but goes to 5 with Premier
- I started with QuickBooks when it came out in the early 90's. It was initially a great business feeder because most accountants were not comfortable with it. Over time they could not ignore it, so it is not as differentiating as it was ... but still a valuable tool for attracting start-up businesses.
- Internally, I find the staff are good closers, but not very hands on in knowing how to correct client input errors.
none I am more familiar with than QBooks
