Starting a B&amp;B from the ground up, new green construction, and need to ask for loans and grants is this software a good product for my needs?

I'm working on a start-up, too. I find the software very intuitive and easy to use. Plus, it helps paint an accurate picture for potential investors to see your cost and revenue projections.

Pinnacle has their own site that you might find answers to all your questions. There on the forums you will quickly find out whether it's a good to have or not. I understand their live support sucks... How's the software? I have studio 9 and need to upgrade NOW!!! Had a few problems in the past but it was sorted eventually? Do I want to go through it again?

No. Biggest waste of money! You not only have to download the software it comes with but you have to buy a monthly subscription to use it!!! I still haven't used mine for my business and I wish I could have returned it

I have not found another program that manages all my personal accounts, investment accounts and rental accounts accurately with little accounting background. I can download information from my financial institutions and then reconcile them. At tax time I can import the data directly and usually only have to review and add information and file my information.

I think it would be fine, it has plenty of power for that. A nice free Office package is "Kingsoft Office" I highly recommend it, you may also want to buy a micro SD card to expand your storage too.

Just make sure you get the right QuickBooks version (Windows) and it will run it just fine. For a low-priced machine, I like it.

There is a variety of software, some perminant others are good for a trial period (like M/S Office). It has games to play, and basic office programs (I have to have M/S Office for my duties...), so there is lots to choose from. It has a full array of basic picture storage and associated programs. Perhaps the biggest improvement over my old computer is the my cloud capabilities. this also has a touch screen which is nice at times...I use it quite a bit, which I was not expecting to! I am not sure what exactly you are looking for, but I did not have to download anything to get started...

If you are speaking of the bundle software versus just the scanner the answer is "YES!". The software alone has a value equal to or exceed the cost of the scanner alone. Adobe so that you can create and edit PDF's. The disk had both the old Rack2Filer and the new Rack2Filer Smart software which is the way to store documents (and the source file as well which can be edited from the binders". Cardminder, though not perfect with many of the new creative business cards, is also useful software. If you are in an organization using SharePoint you can save directly to your SharePoint site with the added software. In my opinion the scanner without the software is just a way to create a PDF almost like having and auto without any roads. We had used the earlier S1500 the ix500 is a great improvement.

The software is a canned software. I have found it to be useful but you must know accounting and you must know about the companies goals for a business plan.

Should work fine. For the cost I say roll the dice. Programs in like 30 seconds! Good luck.

Yes. It can download all of your checking account activity. Where Quicken Essentials falls short is with investment accounts.

Yes. I've loaded and used this software on my windows 7 computer for over a year. every feature that I've needed functions seamlessly. I use it to edit photographs for engineerinig and metalurgy work. I have not used the more "artsy" features, but I'm confident in what I have done, that it will perform as designed. No worries, no regrets Good software.

The software should work just fine, but it's not technically supported. That is, if you have problems, NI may not be overly helpful if you need to call them.And no, all the included software is standalone and comes with licenses. It's actually a pretty great deal for what it is.

the software works for me. I don't use it much and it is not intuitive but it does the job. take a deep breath and let go of your frustration.... :) I hope this helps

Extra $100 for 4+ employees. I just called. It's a bit of a hassle if you already have a payroll subscription, like I do. First you have to cxl your current subscription, then install the payroll disc and then call and they charge you the full whack ($429) for enhanced payroll, then credit back the value they assign to the enhanced payroll of 3 or fewer employees ($329). SO, if you get the enhanced payroll for less than $329 off the shelf (i.e. Costco or Amazon), then you decide if it's worth the hassle. From everything I've read, the 2013 QB Pro is not something to be super excited about, and may even boggle your brain due to poorer visual interface, new report menu format, etc. I'm thinking about getting the Value pack and if I can do the payroll only, and without simultaneously upgrading the QB Pro, then that's what I'll do for now.

Not exactly in the sense you mean. It has a fairly extensive budgeting function but I've never used it so I can't vouch for it. All I can say from experience is that the program has worked very well for my needs except for a couple of minor nagging issues that I really should contact the vendor about as there is probably a solution already out there.

I can't put my hands on my package for this but I researched this question about a year or so ago and my recollection is that you can actually run it legally on a small peer-to-peer network of 3 users. I have used this program for 25 years--including on networks. It is rock solid for what it is. Unfortunately for small time guys like me I think their successor is trying to take it to a higher level to compete with CRM systems which I'm sure it can do. However, they are pricing guys like me out of the market. The bad news is there probably won't be any support for this version going forward. The good news is you probably won't need it. I also wouldn't expect the folks who've sold out to come after you for license infractions but you never know.
