Customer Reviews

Don't buy it1
Do not buy 2008 version. Ring Intuit and buy the 2006 version - tell them you want multi-currency and they'll have to sell it to you because 2008 doesn't (nor does it calculate VAT correctly).

Don,t upgrade1
What ever you do don't up grade to 2008 unless you have to. We upgraded in Oct 2007 and because of VAT issues (Intuit said there were non) we carried on having to use 2005, this was Inuit's suggestion then as 2005 was no longer supported they sent us for free a 2006 upgrade. During January there was a patch issued, R3, which enabled us to us 2008 version, great! Then we discovered that templates were not transferable to the upgraded version, rewrite all our templates, as they're quite complex, 2 days work then discovered on delivery notes and quotations no matter what you do the vat rate is always listed. I could go on and on about other issues, such as not being able to reconcile in chronological order etc. Our only answer is to switch back to using the old unsupported version and use other software for PAYE or swich to Sage on our new financial year.
When we used 2005 I would and did recommend Quickbooks but not now, so if you want stress free accounting don't up grade to 2008.

Terrible customer support for a terrible product.1
Quickbooks Pro 2008 does not calculate VAT totals correctly.
Example: If you enter a sales receipt with one item costing £2.45 including VAT QB Pro 2008 calculates the total as £2.46!
Contacted Intuit support about this issue and was told that the problem would only be addressed if enough customers complained! Five months later, a major update has just been installed and still no fix for this fundamental problem. Have sent my copy back to Intuit for a refund.
