QuickBooks Plus 2010/11 QBi series

Easy to set-up, learn and use
QuickBooks uses plain English and has an Easy Setup Wizard to get your business up and running within minutes.

QuickBooks’ user-friendly home page ensures all frequently used activities and features are available within a few clicks of your mouse. Simply fill out familiar forms on your screen – such as cheques or invoices – and QuickBooks does the accounting for you.

Comprehensive payroll management
All payroll information is centralised and at your fingertips in the Payroll Centre. Perform payroll tasks, view previous payroll transactions, enter time, create and schedule payments, email pay slips to employees, and even split pay into multiple bank accounts.

QuickBooks Plus integrated payroll saves time and money by avoiding duplicate data entry and will help you avoid hassles associated with incorrect payroll withholding. It also includes useful features such as:

* Payroll Setup Wizard: helps first-time users set up ntegrated payroll with clear and concise instructions at every step.
* Scheduled Payroll Wizard: helps make payroll processing convenient and hassle free. You can group your employees in the way that suits you, and set group attributes that makes payroll processing even easier.
* Edit or void past payroll payments: avoid the need to recalculate entire pay cheques, with inbuilt security safeguards and information messages. For example, when changing actual payroll hours and items, you can work in either Lock Net Pay or Unlock Net Pay mode.
* Enter Payroll Information window: allows for an overall view of the payroll process. You can enter the hours for all employees in a single window making payroll entry much easier.
* Enhanced superannuation module: provides more calculation options, including the ability to store multiple super fund details for all existing and past super accounts.

Monitor business performance
More than 100 reports and graphs can be generated within the Reports Centre to keep a close eye on your business. View reports with detailed financial information and convert each into a PDF file for email, so the recipient views the report just as you do.

Manage your business more effectively
QuickBooks is more efficient than spreadsheets, word-processing or paper ledgers. Manage basic tasks like printing cheques, paying bills, generating reports, invoicing customers and tracking expenses quickly and easily. Spend less time and money on bookkeeping and paperwork in order to work on other areas of your business.

Record, track and reconcile your inventory balance
QuickBooks allows easy entry and tracking of all your inventory movements and costs.
