Business Owners - What version of QuickBooks do you use?
 

Thinking of upgrading to 2013. What version do you use and do you like it?

Should be interesting to see the responses in this thread. I've got so many different platforms I just use the cloud version.

Xero is the best solution.

Quickbooks and MYOB etc are dinosaurs in comparison.

Curios as well...looking into Xero

Thanks for the response, I'm reviewing the product features right now.

I use quicken. I keep it simple.

What do you like best about XERO?

I use 2011 and don't need updates because I run payroll through PayCycle (which Intuit bought last year... but I was using before then).

Automatic bank and Paypal feeds, the ability for my accountant to work on it live from his office without having to share a data file with him, being able to do online invoicing, simple tax preparation, easy payroll, excellent reporting, it's just a great product.

Many banks offer Quicken integration...

Link Quicken with your business bank account, and a lot of the tax, payroll, A/R, and A/P work, gets done automatically for you as you use conduct business, plus it enables you to analyze your business better.

QB version 2010.. works fine for me.. but I still hate that shit and every minute I spend on it (only 1.5 hours a month)

We don't, that's what we pay our accountant to do for us.

I use 2013 pro... went from 10 to 13. I usually upgrade every few years

i was under the impression that people in the porn industry in the us did not pay taxes. :2 cents:

how much you pay for accountant? is it outsourced ?

maybe but my accountant uses QB... he goes over my books every few moths, messes around with stuff, then tells what I need to do to make life easer. right now he has the books doing my 1099's and this all by internet and ftp. if that's dinosaur it's good enough for me :2 cents:

hummmm ... it's the 'porn industry' it's all very legit from what I see and who I know personally

I actually want my books isolated from the net. QB might or might not do that however I have no interest in that at all.

QB version 2010 still, but I hardly use it, aside from creating invoices.

Depends on how many of our companies he works the taxes for, we've actually known him a long time so we get a break on the cost, usually throw him around $1k and he'll do all 6 companies for us.

We also use him for other finance related business projects too which is why we get such a good rate with him.

why quickbooks ?

Cause they have 85% small bus. market share

2012, pretty much just upgrade whenever they stop supporting a version

Their yearly payroll fee I find uncomfortably high for what I use it for

If you don't do a payroll, would you still suggest accounting software? I'm going it all by hand via excel and it's getting a bit tough to keep on top of.

its old I think its qb pro 2000 or 2001. lol Its works for what we need.

how do you have a choice? you need to buy the new version every year to get the right tax tables

The reviews on 2013 are horrible. The cloud based shit.
