Useful Information About Intuit® Quickbooks Software

Quickbooks is one of the fastest growing accounting packages for small- and medium-sized businesses. Since its release by Intuit in the early 1990s, Quickbooks has far surpassed the market's growth expectations. At Candy & Schonwald, we recommend the use of Quickbooks and offer many services relating to the software.

Why should I use Quickbooks?

Many small- and medium-sized businesses can and do run their day-to-day operations with Quickbooks. The software gives companies a good estimate of their financial picture at any time during the year. Quickbooks performs many accounting functions, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, time and billing, and preparation of estimates. Quickbooks also performs many payroll functions, such as calculating payroll taxes, printing payroll checks, and completing appropriate tax forms. The software also allows you to print out a balance sheet and income statement for any period during the year or even for comparative periods.

What is the cost of Quickbooks?

Quickbooks is a fairly inexpensive accounting package. The standard version usually costs around $119 and the professional version (see comparative list below) costs around $219.

Quickbooks usually updates the software during the year with modules distributed via the Internet and releases a new version each year. Candy & Schonwald and Intuit recommend upgrading each time a new version is released because the program constantly improves upon itself.

Do I need an Internet connection to update the program?

There are two ways to get the update modules. You can download them from the Internet to either your hard drive or to a floppy disk. If you do not have access to the Internet, you can contact us for a copy of the update.
