Both of getbig's village idiots use quickbooks??!! wahahhahahahhahh Man, this shit is too good, you can't make this shit up. hahahaha
you're obviously not spending time out in the actual business world.
9 out of 10 of the small businesses that I do compilations, reviews, and tax returns for use QuickBooks. The whole reason for the accountant's copy function is so that the bookkeeper can keep the books, send it to the CPA tax accountant, the accountant makes his tax adjusting entries, prepares the return, and sends the client back his changes.
QuickBooks can handle pretty much any small to mid size business no problem.
but someone said it above. garbage in garbage out. when you are importing you credit cards and bank statements you still have to chart them correctly to the proper accounts. That's why I meet with clients when they get QuickBooks, show them how to do the bookkeeping, and let them keep their own books. the worst thing someone can do is get zero assistance with setting up a chart of accounts and the basic bookkeeping tasks, and then hand off a complete abortion of a set of books to their tax preparer. That's when my fees go through the roof. because I have to go back and unwind a bunch of shit and spend hours getting their books straight.
