Product Description

Easy to set-up, learn and use

QuickBooks' Easy Setup Wizard gets businesses up and running within minutes. 

A user-friendly homepage ensures all frequently used activities and features are easily accessible. Simply fill out familiar forms such as cheques or invoices on screen and QuickBooks does the accounting for you

Comprehensive payroll management

All payroll information is centralised and at your fingertips in the Payroll Centre. Perform payroll tasks, view previous payroll transactions, enter time, create and schedule payments, email pay slips to employees, and even split pay into multiple bank accounts.

QuickBooks Plus integrated payroll saves time and money by avoiding duplicate data entry while avoiding the troubles of incorrect payroll withholding.

Monitor business performance

More than 100 reports and graphs can be generated within the Reports Centre to keep a close eye on your business. View reports with detailed financial information and convert each into a PDF file for email, so the recipient views the report just as you do.

Manage your business more effectively

QuickBooks is more efficient than spreadsheets, word-processing or paper ledgers. Manage basic tasks like printing cheques, paying bills, generating reports, invoicing customers and tracking expenses quickly and easily. Spend less time and money on bookkeeping and paperwork in order to work on other areas of your business.

Record, track and reconcile your inventory balance

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

Straight forward tracking of tax and GST

QuickBooks contains an intuitive and accurate tax tracking system for day-to-day transactions, tax and BAS reporting.

Tax Items are now linked to Tax Codes so you can't accidentally assign the wrong sales or purchase tax code.

Payroll enhancements

• A new Payroll Setup Wizard helps first-time users set up integrated payroll with clear and concise instructions. • All employee records and payroll transactions are now centralised and at your fingertips in the Payroll Centre. Also customise the employee list to suit your needs. • A new Scheduled Payroll Wizard makes payroll processing convenient and trouble-free. Group employees to suit you, and set group attributes to somplify payroll processing. • Edit or void past payroll payments eliminating the need to recalculate entire pay cheques, with inbuilt security safeguards and information messages. For example, when changing actual payroll hours and items pay work either in Lock Net Pay or Unlock Net Pay mode. • The new Enter Payroll Information window provides an overall view of the payroll process. Enter the hours for all employees in a single window making payroll entry much easier. • QuickBooks has an enhanced superannuation module providing more calculation options, including the ability to store multiple super fund details for all existing and past super accounts.

Improved features for working with your accountant

The Accountant's copy of the company data file has been improved to streamline your operations, with new features including:

• A new dividing date that shows which periods are for your accountant to work in, and which are for you; • Improved warnings for canceling the Accountant's copy;: • Expanded areas that you and your accountant can work in while the Accountant's copy is active; • Review, accept or reject changes from your accountant as a batch, or individually; and • Receive notes and instructions from your accountant inside the Accountant's copy.

QuickBooks home page

All key tasks and functions are now within a few clicks of the home page with new Customer, Supplier, Employee, Company and Banking centres. Also customise the information display in each centre.

Customise and re-size displays and the appearance of your desktop

QuickBooks lets users customise and re-size displays, reports and workflows, including the company desktop with colours, content, toolbars and icons to suit individual preferences.

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.

QuickBooks Google Desktop Search

QuickBooks Google Desktop Search now indexes your entire data file making it much easier to find exactly what you're looking for.
