Product Description

Easy to set-up, learn and use

QuickBooks uses plain English and has an Easy Setup Wizard to get your business up and running within minutes.

QuickBooks’ user-friendly home page ensures all frequently used activities and features are available within a few clicks of your mouse. Simply fill out familiar forms on your screen – such as cheques or invoices – and QuickBooks does the accounting for you.

Monitor business performance

Quickly view your business performance using the company snapshot tool. Customisable fields and graphs allow you to design a ‘snapshot’ that presents the most significant information that impacts your business decisions – with the ability to drill down into transaction, customer or supplier details. Click here to view a short demonstration of this feature.

More than 100 reports and graphs can be generated within the Reports Centre to help you keep a close eye on your business. With just one click you can also drill down into reports to find detailed financial information. You can even convert the report into a PDF file for email, so the recipient views the report just as you see it in QuickBooks.

Manage your business more effectively

QuickBooks is much more efficient than spreadsheets, word-processing or paper ledgers. Quickly and easily manage bookkeeping tasks like printing cheques, paying bills, generating reports, invoicing customers and tracking expenses. Spend less time on bookkeeping so you can concentrate on your business.

Get paid faster

With just one click, you can receive payments from your customers by credit card and record the transactions in QuickBooks*. Reckon Tools Credit Card Payments allows you to process credit card payments directly through QuickBooks, in a secure environment. Simply type in a customer’s card details when you enter their payment and process it as you save the transaction!
*You will require an Internet Merchant account - contact your financial institution. Additional charges apply.

Record, track and reconcile your inventory balance

QuickBooks allows easy entry and tracking of all your inventory movements and costs.

Industry specific Chart of Accounts

QuickBooks also includes 21 industry specific Chart of Accounts, so only accounts relevant to your business are included.

Real-time BAS lodgement

Easily prepare and lodge your BAS with Reckon GovConnect, SBR^TM enabled software. It helps to pre-fill your e-form with data direct from the ATO and provide you with realtime feedback and lodgement confirmation, so you will instantly know that BAS has been successfully submitted and the refund entitlement or money owed. Find out more about Reckon GovConnect at www.quicken.com.au/sbr.

QuickBooks home page

All key tasks and functions are available within a few clicks of the home page with the Customer, Supplier, Employee and Report Centres. You can also customise how information is displayed in each of these centres.

An ‘always on’ Audit Trail

The ‘always on’ Audit Trail makes it easier for your accountant to spot possible trouble spots or mis-postings in your accounts.

Work more efficiently with your accountant or bookkeeper

The Accountant’s copy of your company data file allows you to work more collaboratively with your accountant, with a dividing date that clearly delineates which periods are for your accountant to work in, and which are for you. QuickBooks also allows you to perform a bank reconciliation –even if your Accountant is working on your file.

Portable Company File

A Portable Company File is a compact version of your company file. Small enough to be sent by email or saved to a portable drive, it can give you the flexibility to work on your file in different locations.

Reckon Tools

This powerful portfolio of integrated financial solutions expands the capabilities of your accounting software with online data-backup, credit card payment systems, streamlined cash flow and superannuation compliance solutions.
