QuickBooks Pro 2005

I purchase quickbooks in 2005 and still use it in 2009. I updated my quickbooks in 2008. This is a great product for any business.

I purchased Quick Books for a new business and have found it to be easy to use and helpful to track payables and receipts. Amazon service was very good.

When I bought this item I didnt realize that the seller was in Hawaii as Im on the island of Antigua a land mass and more miles to the east. The item arrived as if I had ordered it from Florida and was in perfect condition. The price was extremely reasonable and I would recommend the product and the seller to anyone.

I have never ever used an application that was totally designed to get more and more money. Every other page is a sales page and after paying $300 plus for the application and another $200 for the payroll, now I have to pay if I want their help. It is a good tool but the company mission is to make more money, no longer has anything to do with their customers. And this customer will not be one next year.

I have been using QuickBooks since 2003 and have always enjoyed this financial software. I use Quicken for my personal finances, but QuickBooks is far superior. The 2005 version is very similiar to pervious versions, but they have made it extremely user-friendly. I have a member of my staff who is not very computer savvy, but she has done very well with this QuickBooks program. The only complaint I have has been with the installation onto my new laptop computer. It was extremely difficult! I called the customer service line to get help and the man that helped me was quick in diagnosing the problem. He walked me through the entire installation process and was very friendly. That is why, even with the installation problems, I still give the 2005 version of QuickBooks 5 stars!

Seller was very prompt. Item was exactly as described. I even e-mailed him to have the item shipped sooner and he e-mailed me back in the same day and upgraded shipping at no cost to me. He was very accomodating.

When I tried to upgrade from 2004 to 2005 I ran into a problem because I didnt have Flash 7.0 installed. Actually I had a later version of Flash (9.04) but of course Quickbooks couldnt handle that. Heres the fix: go to the Adobe site and download the uninstall program from them. Uninstall your flash player and then Quickbooks will then proceed. Good luck. Joe

Excellent tool for small business. Takes a while to get the correct use of it, particularly what accounts to use if you do not have an accounting background. The quick tours are vey helpful. The number of transactions that have to be carried out are a little tedious, but so its keeping accounting books.

Quick Books Pro is a good value for its cost. It is far superior to Quick Books especially its cost accounting ability. Unfortunately many users dont take full advantage of its features. Not only does the cost accounting provide valuable information, in service oriented business the use of the time card and allocation of employees time to various jobs gives a truer cost of a project than estimates. I really recommend this package if you are a small business.

This is very difficult to use if you are not selling wiggetts but a service. Hard to see the big picture or delete invoices. A problem at every turn. I am disappointed as I thought this was going to be great. I ended up getting an accountant.
