We're a small business and our accountant uses QuickBooks for our company. The reason for deducting a star is that the installation kept erroring out when installing from the autostart menu. We had to go directly into the folder for the QuickBooks program setup so we do not get prompted to install any other programs. This seems to be the case with previous QuickBook installation as well, ever since Adobe purchased Shockwave.

I have been using Quickbooks Pro 2006 and felt it was time for an upgrade.I have a small crafts business where I buy raw materials, make them into products, then sell them at local craft shows and online. By going with the Premier edition, I was easily able to see the differences between the different versions of the software (manufacturing, retail, etc.). My business is sort of a hybrid between manufacturing and retail, and this software gives me the ability to do everything I need to do. Since I had already been using Quickbooks Pro 2006, there wasn't much of a learning curve. The basics are all the same and the items on the start screen make it easy to go to whatever function you need - receiving goods, billing a customer, entering and paying bills, etc. If you have never used any business accounting software before, don't worry, you do not need to be an accountant to set this up. However, if you are using an accountant, you should check with them to make sure you set up the accounts needed for your business. If you are doing this yourself, just use the setup questions and the software will help you set up the right accounts. Plus, you can always add accounts later if you missed setting up any at the beginning. You can set up accounts "on the fly." Let's say you receive a bill from a company you have never dealt with before. Without leaving the "receive bills" function you can add the company to your vendor list. The same goes for adding inventory items, new customers, and so on. As I said, I have been using Quickbooks for some time. If you are relatively new to business accounting I have a suggestion you might like to try. Quickbooks allows you to set up more than one company. You might want to set up a "test" version of your company alongside the real business. I found when I first started using the software that I wasn't always sure what would happen when I performed a certain function. By setting up a fake company with just a few of the accounts and some of the data (for instance, just a few inventory items and customers) you can always test a scenario with the fake data to see what it does before making the entries in your actual company. I found that certain entries are very difficult to correct, and by seeing what they will do in the test company first you can avoid making an entry with real data that will cause you problems. For example, I use a credit card for many business purchases but I was not handling the entries properly. When it came time to pay the credit card the transactions were not where they were supposed to be. It took quite a bit of work and a lot of anxiety to get the transactions corrected. If you go to the Quickbooks web site, it aims you at setting up your books in the cloud and paying a monthly fee for the software. If your volume is high enough, you may want to consider that option. My business has a very low volume (it is a part time business) and this option would have cost me most of my monthly profit. By purchasing this software and installing it on my computer, I will amortize the cost in just a few months and after that it will cost me nothing. For me, at least, there is no need to upgrade to the new version of Quickbooks every year. For you and your business, it may be different.Read full review

I love Quickbooks, but I don't consider it to be very user-friendly. I had experience using it and liked it, which is why I bought it. For those who don't need all the "bells and whistles" in Quickbooks, I would recommend Quicken.

It is not that much different than the 2009 that I was using except the 2009 is not compatible with Windows 10. It was a struggle to get everything transferred but once I got it figured out, I am good to go. Thank you

When the package arrived, it truly was a new program in an unopened box. I had no problem whatsoever in installing the program and did not even need the additional link just in case. It was such a good deal, I ordered another one for my daughter who just started up a new business in this new year. Thank you
