Ab Work Outs: QuickBooks Simple Start Edition 2005 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is as advertised.Super simple to get started with accounting for a very basic business.It took about 5-10 minutes to load, walked me through half a dozen basic questions, and was ready to start taking bank account entries and categorize them.I was also able to set up a business credit card to track expenses there and enter things very easily.

The simplicity however comes with a real lack of flexibility for anything more involved.Within the first 30 mintues I was already noticing features missing that I would like, and found myself needing to upgrade to a more complete version of Quickbooks.For instance, expenses are only single level -- you can't have subcategories for expenses.Credit card entries can't have memo fields to remind you what the expense was (checks can however).Etc.

I imagine if you have a business with a very limited set of vendors and customers, and you have little need to categorize your expenses in too complicated a way, this program could be sufficient for your needs.It also is an easy first step into accounting software -- but I would probably start with the expectation that you'll have to upgrade.
