Just another way to force you to give them more money,
Our company has used quick books forever. Lately they have a new customer abandonment policy where they won’t sell you the tax tables for the versions over 3 years old. So out goes our 2008 quick books premier in the trash and now we buy the “improved” version. At first I thought that it was going to be worth it because they have the ability to attach pdf files from your local hard drive to invoices. After the software got installed we learned that this is a service and they want to charge you a fee to reference your own files. Then we learned that if we were upgrading from 2010 we could get this free. Unfortunately, this is how a software company that has a corner on the market learns so rip off its customers. Now intuit is my business partner and I have to pay them monthly to be able to bill my customers and I have to upgrade my software to be able to make payroll. What a racket!!! Meanwhile I can hear my book keeper cursing because he is spending today looking for things that they moved in the application. Another thing that now sucks is that the multi-user package used to have 5 users. Now it is 3. While we have used this product for many years we always thought that if the budget would not support an upgrade in one time frame the product would still work. Now we realize that this is not correct and that buying the 2011 version has not only cost us the new version price but also productivity in the short run and the new features promised don’t come with the software.

Its what they DON’T tell you upfront,
We got Quickbooks Contractor because we wanted a one-stop accounting program. “It can do payroll, billing, tracking, blah blah blah blah”. What they DON’T tell you is things such as “If you want to use the payroll function and it do all the taxes and math for you, then it will cost you an additional yearly subscription of $395…”!!!!!! Why the h*ll would this NOT be included in the program???????? If I want to do everything by hand, then why buy Quickbooks at all????? I didn’t buy the program so that I could subscribe to half a dozen features that SHOULD be included in an “accounting” program!!!
From everything I have read and from what little experience I have had with Quickbooks thus far, Intuit seems like a company whose sole purpose is to see how much money they can milk the customer out of.
BEFORE YOU BUY, CALL AND MAKE SURE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR A LOT OF EXTRAS THAT YOU NEED!!!! Whatever price you pay for it, it is almost guaranteed that the bleeding isn’t going to stop there so get ready!

Just too much!,
It was much more than ever needed and just a bit too complicated. I tried contacting the emails and phone numbers that they have for help and NONE of them ever contacted me.
