Easy to set-up, learn and use

QuickBooks uses plain English and has an Easy Setup Wizard to get your business up and running within minutes. QuickBooks' user-friendly home page ensures all frequently used activities and features are available within one or two clicks of your mouse. Simply fill out familiar forms on your screen - such as cheques or invoices - and QuickBooks does the accounting for you.

Monitor business performance

More than 100 reports and graphs can be generated within the Report Centre to help you keep a close eye on your business. With just one click you can also drill down into the reports to find detailed financial information. You can even convert the report to a PDF file for email so the recipient views the report just as you see it in QuickBooks.

Manage your business more effectively

QuickBooks is much more efficient than spreadsheets, word-processing or paper ledgers. Quickly and easily manage bookkeeping tasks like printing cheques, paying bills, generating reports, invoicing customers and tracking expenses. Spend less time on bookkeeping so you can concentrate on your business.

Industry specific Chart of Accounts

QuickBooks also includes 21 industry specific Chart of Accounts, so only accounts relevant to your business are included.

QuickBooks home page

All key tasks and functions are available within a few clicks of the home page with the Customer, Supplier, Employee and Report Centres. You can also customise how information is displayed in each of these centres.

An ‘always on’ Audit Trail

The 'always on' Audit Trail makes it easier for your accountant to spot possible trouble spots or mis-postings in your accounts.

Work more efficiently with your accountant or bookkeeper

The Accountant's copy of your company data file allows you to work more collaboratively with your accountant, with a dividing date that clearly delineates which periods are for your accountant to work in, and which are for you. QuickBooks also allows you to perform a bank reconciliation –even if your Accountant is working on your file.

Portable Company File

A Portable Company File is a compact version of your company file. Small enough to be sent by email or saved to a portable drive, it can give you the flexibility to work on your file in different locations.

Customisable Customer Snapshot

Offers a consolidated view of your customers purchasing history, average payment period and any outstanding money owed, all on one screen helping you make better business decisions.

Credit Alerts

Gain control of your accounts payable and avoid overpaying by using new popup alerts that remind you of credits owed to you by a supplier.

GST Calculation

Now either gross or net amounts can be entered into journal entries, saving you, your accountant or bookkeeper time and ensuring greater accuracy of your accounts.
