Migrating to QuickBooks

The inevitable has arrived! My strategy to migrating to QuickBooks is to buy a single-user version now, get acquainted with it, become proficient in nearly all areas, then buy another 5-user license and start teaching everyone how to use it. Eventually, we'll need more, but that's the starting point.

The idea would be to start using it when our fiscal new year starts October 1st, and the peak season would be over, enabling us to stumble through things when the pressure is off.

Thoughts? Painful past experiences? Explosive reprimands for me? :D
 
Nickrosis, Quickbooks is a very easy program to run. We just upgraded to the Enterprise 06, which is the next step after Quickbooks. Once you figure out everything you can do with the program, it is amazing. It covers accounting, estimates, invoicing and you can even track clients. It is great!
 
I even use Quickbooks this side of the ocean. Pretty good and hey, here's a little secret .... ssshhhh

You can produce an invoice, get paid cash /forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif or something like that, and delete off the system ... pooof .. gone for good. Now try that with MYOB! None of that raising credits and debits etc to fix stuff. i think our tax dept was trying to have them stop that loop hole.

But seriously, it's a great program, just press a button for reports and graphs, you email the file to your accountant to do your tax, easy. You can even do quotes that then auto invoice when the job goes ahead.

Now I dont do any of that, I just enter my sales and expenses. My quotes still come out of written books etc. I'm an anti govt type of guy ... the less that's stored on a system the safer for me. But if you have a business that's karge like Dot Palms then you better use that baby for everything coz it would be crazy to try and remember stuff and get it all right.

You can even do crew or branch figures, so Vh could have seperate crews in there to see who's bludging in the money stakes ... no doubt if the office was in there as a crew it would be a serious expense area so she probably doesn't do that to keep her job safe. /forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif Just kidding VH.

Get it, you wont look back and it's very user friendly.
 
i bought quickbooks just before christmas after using quicken for personal finances for years. at first glance it seemed real confusing. i kept going back to it over the course of the next few weeks before i actually started using it and it soon became clear. im very happy with it
