QuickBooks is an accounting software package developed and marketed by Intuit. QuickBooks products are geared mainly toward small and medium-sized businesses and offer on-premises accounting applications as well as cloud-based versions that accept business payments, manage and pay bills, and payroll functions. Intuit QuickBooks is corporate accounting software that makes both Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable extremely manageable for small businesses. In addition to simplifying the accounting process, it is also a great way to pull reports and keep track of company finances all in one place. I use QuickBooks Pro 2014, which is easily broken down into Customers and Vendors, so that all transactions are readily accessible. Furthermore, it is a very easy way to format and create Invoices, especially with the feature to copy invoices, which makes monthly payment schedules extremely simple and saves time. Overall, QuickBooks is easy to understand so there is no extensive training required for new employees. There are two versions, the desktop and online. I use the desktop version, however there is also an online option with a monthly subscription fee rather than a onetime software package fee. With the online version, you can install apps to automatically sync PayPal, Square and other accounts. Depending on your business, it may be useful to research the various QuickBooks options and determine which one will meet your needs most effectively. The online version has become increasingly popular due to the fact that it allows cloud access from anywhere, so many people have been switching to this version for easier remote access.
