My intuition tells me your small business needs to use accounting software. And there is one accounting option that dominates the small-business market – QuickBooks. Is it right for you?
A good place to start is ease of use. It’s all well and good for accounting software to have all the right features, but if those features are too hard to use, then they won’t do you any good. In the article “QuickBooks vs. Peachtree – A Comparison for Small Businesses” David Matthew, an ERP analyst with Software Advice, says, “QuickBooks is usually considered the easiest accounting software to implement for someone without an accounting background.”

Accounting Features
Many small-business owners aren’t accountants. They just want to know what’s happening on the financial side of their business without having to memorize technical terms and stare at balance sheets and income statements for hours on end. QuickBooks demystifies things like accounts payable and receivable so you can quickly figure out what you owe and how much other people owe you. Higher-end versions of QuickBooks automatically generate purchase orders, so you can quickly get the parts and products you need to make customers happy. They can also be customized for different industries, such as manufacturing, retail and service.
