[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7936907, member: 2119"] Been on quick books for a couple of years. It’s OK but you can spend a lot of time trying to reconcile the bank account when really it’s a piffling problem that has no bearing on anything of consequence. For example, HMRC paid us two months refund in one payment. The system had a bit on of a meltdown over that and so did my brain as I tried to Wade through the bowels of the system to sort it out. So that’s a job for the nice lady at the accountants. Cash sales are pretty laborious to deal with as well and we have never found a quick solution to inputting the data from the farm buying group mega invoice that can contain maybe 300 items from a dozen different suppliers. Contra accounts a bit clunky as well, having to remember to split the entry, change VAT to purchase instead of sales and put the amount in as a negative figure so “frigging” the system into getting it right rather than it being intuitive. If I was more disciplined and not so lazy I think my excel spreadsheet would have sufficed really along with bridging software. Overall though quick books isn’t bad as bog standard cloud based software. You have the data back up for one thing. It does s reasonable job considering it has to be all things to many different businesses. Reasonably satisfied with it but not blown away and think it could screw up mightily if you weren’t fairy accounts savvy. Struggle to believe a painter and decorator could run his accounts and generate everything he needs to do a tax return all from his phone while hanging wallpaper as you see in the ads. [/QUOTE]
