Quick Books: Simple Start vs Pro

[James Burke]

For those of you using Quick Books, how many of you are running a business with just Simple Start?

I'm just a one-man show with no employees and am wondering if Quick Books Pro would be overkill.

One of my goals is to become "accounting savvy" in 2011.

Any experiences and opinions would be helpful.


Thank you,

Jim

Did you know that starting in 2012 you will be required to issue a 1099 to everyone you have bought $600.00 worth of product from. So, you better make sure your accounting software is up to the task of tracking your expenditures and auto printing 1099 forms. This was another hidden law in the Obama Care package.

I've been using QB since probably 2002, and it's the only way to go, and kind of the US standard I would say for smaller businesses. I'm thinkin' I got 2010 Pro on Amazon.com for like $90 if I remember right. Do some google searches, you can save a lot of money.
