QuickBooks Pro 2005

The software came in the time promised and was in the condition it was advertised in and had the features that were listed. I would purchase from this vendor again

It would be nice if you spent time talking about the product instead of crying about customer service being outsourced. Oh and by the way - FirstUSA ALSO uses call centers in India - so problem still with John or Intuit?

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.

I just purchased this product to upgrade my Quickbooks Pro 2003. Unfortunately, this will be my last purchase of an Intuit product after having been a loyal customer for 12 years. Why? Because Im being forced to upgrade by Intuit or lose my ability to run the payroll feature (which I already have to pay a $200/year subscription fee to use). I have enjoyed using both Quickbooks and Quicken, but forcing me to upgrade at gunpoint is not something that sits well with me. Sorry Intuit, but time for us to go our separate ways. BTW: thanks Amazon for offering the upgrade $50 cheaper than direct for Intuit...one more nail in the coffin for Intuit and one more reason to remain a very happy Amazon stockholder.

I have been using QB for 7 years and every year or so they force you to upgrade (buy a new copy) becuase they stop supporting online banking. I have recently purchased Microsoft Small Business 2006 which I am going to migrate my cursed QB files to it and I will finaly have some decent software. Problems with QB It will not install sometimes - depending on the Windows installation it the install will crash. The Updates will crash periodically. It does not allow you to export reports to excel unless you have a Pro edition (Thanks) Also the interface online integration is circa 1990s I have recently upgraded to MS Money 2006 which rocks!!! GOOD RIDDENCE QUICK BOOKS !!!!!1

extremely poor technical support. I had to contact sales to get the answer because, Alex,Andrew,Adam all living in India could not answer the question and appeared not to really understand the question.I asked them why they use american names they said the company thought we the buyer might be more receptive if they use good old USA names. The program it self is fine I have been using it since 2002 but when a problem arises there is no support to count on.

I have no idea how this program works, because it will not load on Windows 7. Further research shows it may work on Windows 7 Pro, but that is not what I have. My previous version of Quickbook was great, and exactly what I need.

This is a great product. It is easy to learn and use. It sure has saved me time and helps me save on taxes because I enter stuff now that I use to forget about or throw away.

Stay far, far away from QuickBooks. The literally every year forever charge for tax table updates is completely unethical - based on very simple numerical updates available in IRS Circular E, Intuit charges you (currently, and increasing every year) $ 214 per year for these updates - which happen about once every few months. Problem is, if you discontinue your tax table update service, ALL tax tables are removed from your program and your are essentially unable to do payroll based on the free tax table data which you can enter yourself. There is no internal, empty tax table into which you can plug the percentages/calculations. It is inexcusable that Intuit does not provide the facility for manually entering the very simple tax table data yourself and continuing to process payroll - especially for small businesses with less than 10 employees. Note that you can continue to manually calculate each of the deductions and enter them yourself on each paycheck screen - and thus trod through payroll. A site such as [...] The above site will calculate an entire paycheck and all deductions, all you need is W-4 (withholding allowance) info for each employee Intuit is engaged in extortion - declaring themselves a non-government institution levying a tax on all businesses. Once you buy (and keep using QuickBooks), you MUST subsidize Intuit every month - FOREVER! In addition to their famed unreachable and unusable support, this company, which was once a fantastic provider of wonderful software and essential business tools has taken the downturn into corporate greed and unethical business practices. Expect to see many class action lawsuits coming soon towards Intuit for the way they are holding their customers hostage and disabling the ability to REALLY do Do-It-Yourself payroll, organized calls for FTC and Justice Department intervention, organized boycotts, major magazine articles, action by CPA groups, state constitutional amendment petitions and legislative action. Intuit, according to their published data, controls 85% of the market (which is more than Microsoft in its market) and has a profit margin in excess of 75%. They make tons of money off their software and ancillary services. [...]

I have been using QB Pro 2004 for over a year now. My main complaint is that online banking has been broken since installing (Its a credit card and a checking account...fairly simple, but cant get both to work at the same time. My QB-certified accountant cant get it to work either...if you want boring details, email me!) Youve already read about how bad the phone support is...my experience was no different, and they want to charge you for everything. Hey Intuit, why not make sure the software that your customers purchase WORKS at least ONCE before charging for support? I cant believe after all these years that some other software giant cant crush these guys with something basic and workable. After reading reviews of all the accounting packages, it still appears that QB is the least worst. ;-)
