Simple is good.......2007-05-18

I just started using this product so take that into consideration with this review. I didn't need anything complicated, just something to generate invoices and record payments and expenses. If that's all you need, then this product is for you.

You'll want to consider other products if you have payroll and other complicated situations to deal with.

Fabulous.......2007-05-16

I am a bookkeeper and the product we use at the office for all of our bookkeeping is Quickbooks Pro 2007. So, when I decided to start my own business from home, I instantly thought of Quickbooks. This product is easy to use and simple. It is definitely made for a small start-up business. I talked my mom into getting it for her business and she is able to use it no problem with no prior experience or accounting knowledge. Plus, since our tax accountant is a Quickbooks Certified professional, she will be able to easily and quickly prepare our business returns at the end of this year because we are both using the program to help us keep accurate business records. I do highly recommend this program to everyone I can.

Solid Product, Does the Job.......2007-05-12

I run a small business and my accountant insisted I get out of Excel and into QuickBooks. I'm pretty happy that I did. While I'd love it if Simple Start did inventory management (it doesn't -- you have to upgrade to the 'next level' for that), my inventory tracking needs are pretty minimal. I've got better clarity into my financial records now, and a number of useful reports for seeing how my company's doing overall. Very nice.

Does the job.......2007-03-18

I found it hard to work with and was disappointed that it wasn't more versatile. My needs are not quite the same as a standard business, however, and I have friends with businesses who like this very much.

What they don't tell you............2007-03-17

It seems that all previous Quickbook versions will not run on Windows Vista and I had upgraded my system. So, I bought Simple Start as the least expensive way to get a Quickbook product to run on Vista. Turns out Simple start runs fine on Vista BUT you cannot load a company file from earlier versions. Thus, Simple Start was simply useless to me. When I called Intuit customer service they said that for another $100 they'd give me a license number that would unlock that feature. By that time I was committed and had no choice. Talk about getting ripped off!!!
