Appreciate the Payroll Features

Years ago I had to hire an outside company to do payroll.  Now Intuit made it super easy to run payroll, do direct deposit and you can even sign up to do taxes as well.  They send reminders so you can always be on top of this.  It is worth the monthly fee.  Overall, Quickbooks is user friendly and I have recommended it for years.

The layout of this calender is great.  Thew monthly view is simple enough that I can see appointments at a glance.  The weekly view is very detailed which allows me the room to write more specific information.  The to do lists in the back are also a nice feature.

I almost didn't purchase Quicken 2013 after reading many of the reviews on this site. I was a Mint user (the free little online brother of Quicken), but Mint did not have enough flexibility for me. Eventually, I decided to give Quicken a shot, and I'm glad I did. It works very well for my purposes. I wanted a program that could allow me to set budgets, download transactions automatically from various banks, investments, credit cards, etc., track my spending against those budgets, and generate reports about spending habits.

One of my favorite features of Quicken is the ability to plan budgets for an entire year. I also enjoy the ability to add a high level of detail to each transaction. On the downside, the software isn't terribly user friendly. I work in finance and this software was still a bit of a learning curve, but once you get comfortable then it's smooth sailing.

I was really excited about the added features but a soon as I saw the Income Tracker I knew I wanted this upgrade.  The Alerts and Reminders, the new graphs and charts and the improved ease of use are a few others that I have really enjoyed. When I checked out the bank feeds feature I was blown away. This has really helped me streamline my work and cut down on the  use of paper.

I like this program because it works intuitively and is easy to learn. I can do almost anything I need with it.  I wish it had a dedicated 1099 report, but I can manage using the report functions and  doing a little work myself.  The basic functions of keeping the books during the year and printing checks work very well.  Also printing tax reports at year end are easy.

This system has made my job so much easier. Xmas rush this year will go a lot smoother. Thanks so much!

I've been looking for a way to easily scan in the multitude of business receipts that I accumulate every week. Tired of putting tape on each one, putting it on a paper to scan it in to optimize the amount pages I have, I started looking for a different, faster and easier way to get it done.

I know several people who have bought the neatreceipts mobile scanner, and loved it, and so decided to invest in it.

After receiving the unit, I was surprised as to how compact it was, and was worried that it will not really save me any time. I grabbed a bunch of receipts, and starting scanning them in. Not only does it easily scan them in, it also labels them appropriately(about 60%-70%) of the time. It picks out the totals, the type of expense it is, and allows to export all of the receipts in PDF format, which is exactly what I needed.

I also tried the scanning in business cards, and that worked flawlessly. It picks up the name, phone numbers, emails and automatically adds them to the list - a huge timer saver.

There are a few drawbacks though, but these are minor in my mind. The software does not pick up written receipts. Not a big deal as I can enter the final values. It also sometimes picks up wrong numbers, which happens if there are multiple totals(e.g. if you are using a gift card for a purchase, and there is the final price, and the remaining total of the gift card shown on the receipt - it may be pick up the gift card amount). Small issues that I think are minor.

I would definitely buy this again, as it literally saves me as least 50% of the time I spend on my weekly expense reporting. That itself easily worth the price of admission.

I have been using the uAttend clock and website for one pay period.  The set up was fairly simple.  I had to read the manual to learn how to log into the wifi, and get my employees fingerprints saved in the clock, but it only took a few minutes.  The website is great and easy to understand, customize.  So far I am extremely pleased.

Quick Books Online has allowed us to have reliable financial information at our fingertips.  We don't worry about losing information as all the data is maintained off-premises.  We don't have to make sure that we have current back-up files should our hard drive crash.  We like the interaction of Payroll with Quick Books, saving time by not needing to manually reenter payroll information.  Could the program be improved?  Yes, but I think it is a good value and suits most of our needs.

This program is amazing! I knew my budget would be a little high this month as I was started my budget on 3/8/14 and some of my transactions didn't fully hit my account until the beginning of March. I added all of my transactions from as far back as 8/2013. SUPER EASY and didn't take any time to do it. I love the fact that my bank has an export button for this program and it puts the icon on my desktop. I double click on it, and it automatically updates my transactions into the program. I have used QuickBooks for a previous employer and I liked it, but I knew that when it came to managing my money, I didn't need all of those functions and wanted something basic and easy to use.

This program allows me to view my spending habits in different graph forms. It gave me a template to create a budget for myself and lets me know when I am going over on a category or how much I have left to spend in each category. I set up the bills tab just because and it calculates when money will be hitting my account and when bills will be due. I can manage alerts for my phone or e-mail if I am over spending, when bills are due, and when I get paid.

They have an app for my phone and I can view the main/core information that I see on my desktop, but on my phone. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to save and keep better track of their money.

Whew! So afraid that they would stop making this as it's the most economical and efficient Month at a glance
with room for each day. While I've been on the net since 1987, I'm not a blackberry/pda type.. i like looking at my scribble and the ritual of transferring birthdays each year, and getting a summary of what transpired when
as i flip the pages, as well as what i plan on... easily, immediately, without electricity. love that it runs from December of last year through January of the next -- that's how long it takes me to transition. When in the corporation i kept two -- one for work that stayed at work and one for me.

This has been a tremendous help to get our finances in order. There are so many useful things I don't think I will have the time to learn all it has to offer. I have had issues getting the budget to sync up with the app, it will work once then not again so that would be a good fix. My husband and I would definitely recommend it to everyone, even if you just use a few of the features.

I'm biased because I've been using Quickbboks since old DOS days and I beta tested this year's product.
As a tax preparer I see over a hundred clients' QuickBooks files every year. The new help system and tutorial videos will make it easier for my clients who are just getting started. The new "Send a Copy to my Accountant" feature alone will be worth the price of the upgrade for many users.
Gotta love a product that makes life so easy for users that don't want to know accounting but still keep control of everything financial.

I've been using Quicken on my PC for a few years now, and have come to rely on it for my personal finances.  I have often felt like it was over cluttered with options that I didn't know how to use.  I tried Mint.com for awhile to see if that would fit my needs a little better, and while I liked many things about it, it was frustrating that I couldn't really plan ahead.

Reading these reviews, I don't understand why everyone is so upset about the bill pay feature.  As far as I know, Quicken hasn't supported that in years, at least with the later versions.  So, I won't miss it.

So far, I really like Quicken for Mac.  My PC crashed, and I lost my latest quicken backup, so I'm starting pretty fresh.  I feel like it gives me everything I liked about Mint.com, plus everything I wanted.  I use it to track my accounts (checking, saving, loans, and credit cards  and it does the job well.
