|
|
I am about to break away from my firm and start my own at home bookkeeping service for a number of large and small clients that i have. I currently am using Quickbooks Accounting 2006, but i would like to get the newest version before i make the plunge to the new business. Before i go out and buy the newest Quickbooks i was just wondering if someone knows of any better bookkeeping software. Just something to make entries easily, print reports, and just maintain the books with no restrictions.
If anyone knows of any please let me know,
Thanks,
NewBookkeep |

Lets see,
85% of your potential clients are already using QuickBooks.
You have hands on experience with that program
Yea I agree, too common look for another program.
I mean you are actually targeting a portion of the market that others are not going after.
The absolute benefit of software knowledge that others do not know brings with it a certain versatility.
Keep also in mind that this new software package will create a learning curve, slow down your turn around time to your clients, so they can get information from you their new accountant even slower than their current one.
Sorry, I cannot go any further, I am laughing too hard..... Stay with Quickbooks. |

Congratulations on starting your own business--you'll love it! I just replied to another post with a similar question, so I'll repost it here for you:
QB Premier Accountant edition has a great Working Trial balance feature! You can enter the numbers from the client's trial balance, enter adjustments, and even enter workpaper references. Especially if the client is using QB--you can restore their back up file and drill down to the info to identify errors easier.
Premier Acct edition also includes a fixed asset manager and a financial statement designer. MANY accountants use it for client write up work--not just monthly bookkeeping for clients. It will also integrate with ProSeries and Lacerte for tax prep.
Have you checked into the ProAdvisor Program? When you join, you will get the current edition and all new releases during your membership (ie you'd get 2008 & 2009) of QB Premier Acct Edition. You also get QB enterprise--acct edition (single user), access to training materials, a dedicated tech support number (in Phoenix, AZ), and many more benefits.
I'm very QB biased--I love it!!! |
