QuickBooks! I'm Getting Organized For The New Year! Anyone Else Use..

[Lynn CC]

QuickBooks? I got a program for Small Business, I've been trying to organize it all week. I worked at making custom Invoices for about 6 hours, then DS came home and helped me put the logo in the forms. Basically it took him about an hour for what would have taken me a week to do. I keep telling myself it just takes practice.

What are you opinions on QuickBooks? I just hope it's not going to be too complicated for my simple mind, after spending all that money on it LOL

I've never personally used it, but I've set up the program for a couple small businesses over the years. It's pretty easy to use and a breeze once you get the hang of it. Some of the more complex stuff is harder to figure out, but as long as you set things up right initially, all the day-to-day stuff is easy to use.

We use quickbooks and I LOVE it. It makes everything so easy. It does everything for you. The only thing I hate is their customer service. You call and they transfer you to India, you spend hours on the phone trying to explain your problem. Don't bother subscribing to customer support because they are worthless. Other than that, it's a great program!

I use it and it's does what it's suppose to. Easy to use.

My mom uses this at work and when she was hiring a new bookkeeper last spring she listed 'must know quickbooks' as a requirement. No one knew how to use it. It was incredible. All these applicants said "yeah, sure" then they'd get in tehre and not know where to begin. She finally found someone now who knows how to use it, but it took a long time. (And my mom is not the most computer-savvy so she really can't teach someone else how to use a program!)

I use quickbooks at three different jobs, all small businesses. I love it. I use professional at one, contractor at another and basic at the third. All are easy to use and understand. My accountant at one suggested peachtree which CPA'S love but I thought it was awful- JMHO. I think once you get comfortable with QB you will really like it.
