I've been using Intuit Quick Books Pro for 4 years now and I find it excellent. Take a bit of time to get used to, and set up estimates/invoices etc but well worth it. You do need Outlook 2007 too as it needs to link to send the documents via pdf. PM me an email address and I'll send you a couple of examples.

Yes, you can, depending on your banking arrangements and setup.

Hi do you guys pay monthly for quick books? Or is there a program you can download? Or is it all online ?

You can buy a disc, or pay monthly. I run the "disc" version so I don't need to be attached to the web to use it. There is a downloadable version trial version you can get.

Thanks for that ...

 

[Octopus]

Thanks for that ...

For what its worth I recently bought the 2014 version of QuickBooks Pro for just under £120 from Costco!

 

[pete.willerton]

That's good as I've seen prices of £300+ was getting worried

It an old thread Kelvin88 but still a relevent question... Don't get the pay monthly ones, go and buy the complete suite this way you are not buying he product 5times over after year dot.

I've been using Quick Books Pro for nearly 6 years and I always use the PC based version.

Ignore the RRP price - I last bought a copy at Costco for just over a ton!

ive tried the free ones, now i have xero which is so much better think its £17 quid a month but definitely worth while. Invoices are really professional looking too which i personally think is quite important.
