QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise tracks data, very well. It's generally stable, crashes can usually be attributed to a network interruption or some other machine error. The data file updates with each transaction, so if there is a crash, it's not necessary to go back and see what transactions have to be re-entered. The reporting is quick, easy, reliable. It's keyboard friendly, so in most cases, the use of a mouse is not required.

• With QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise we can keep up with our accounting internally and don't have to take it to a CPA firm every month.
• Payroll is also able to be done internally and we don't have to hire a payroll service.
• When we need information, it is available to us so management decisions can be better informed.

• Statements that are not reflective of individual customer terms render some customers' statments useless.
• Vendor payment management has eliminated late fees saving several hundred dollars per year.
• The new licensing scheme has us looking at competitive systems and we are finding more than we expected at much less cost.

• Inability to make current history and setup configuration transfer to online - tried for several months, with QB Support which is not highly qulaified - many foreign phone answerers that just move to recover account option - total waste of time.

We use QuickBooks for all of our accounting functions. It is user friendly; goes anywhere we go and has a tremendous capability for customization. I use the import functions, and this saves a lot of time when bringing in data from other applications. Even though there is a lot that can be done it is also easy to start using with not too much training.

• easy to use
