Review by Elisa 20

First, unlike many reviewers here, I am new to Quickbooks. I do have a business, and have tried some cheaper software (Peachtree, for one) without much success. Since my business is small, I could get by with a paper ledger, check register and Word–but it wasn’t pretty and the record keeping and invoicing was clumsy and really inefficientnnSo, for me, as a small business owner with a currently unsatisfactory accounting system and no previous Quickbooks experience, this was really great. Looking at the home page, it’s pretty clear how well organized the categories are. The tutorial was also helpful. Best of all, for me, were two things: (1) how much time it saved to have vendors’ accounts entered ONCE and then access them for invoices, etc without retyping/formatting; (2) how well organized and accurate my records got with very little effort. And, (3) it all looked professional–a big difference from my Staples invoice forms or Word documents.

I’m no Quickbooks expert, but for me, it was useful and improved my business organization, presentation and performance exponentially.
