Bookkeeper: Easily Manage Your Business Finances

Couldnt get to work on my laptop. I have Windows 10 which is not compatible with Bookkeeper. Plus it is for Business and not Personal like I thought it was. I also thought that I ordered a 2015 edison not a 2009.

Im not an accountant so maybe I dont understand. But I understand it a little better.

I gave a one star rating to get your attention. Its two stars at best, and I simply dislike it. As of 05/02/2015 I purchased the latest version of the Avanquest Bookkeeper Software. I was quite disappointed. Be forewarned that: 1. This program has severe limitations in templates 2. Output options for printed documents also deeply limited 3. Graphics options for personalization is extremely limited; probably because they want you to buy logo software program they also sell 4. Workflow has a printing glitch; printing is delayed by a make selection screen that halts your workflow, then sort of reboots before giving a final printing option. This is very, very annoying as youll see. 5. THIS PROGRAM IS NOT INTUITIVE NOR USER FRIENDLY. It may have a simple user interface, but the LEARNING CURVE IS STEEP due to poor design. 6. You will have two Help options for this program other than customer support (see below). The first is the Help Topics sub-program, which is entirely minimal and inflexible. It is useless. You will learn this program by trial-and-error. The second is the FAQ online option at www.avanquest.com. The Help menus here are more extensive and informative, but frustrating in the event you arent familiar with the program to begin with (pick your poison!). 7. Do no expect discount options on future upgrades. Besides, you wont want one. **8. Above all else, be warned: there are no free customer support nor direct contact options other than by e-mail. Tech Support costs $10.00 - $20.00 out of the box, AND you will definitely need Tech Support. This accounts for the programs low initial cost, [and] even though theyre taking your money again, be prepared to hurry up and wait. One caveat: www.http://accounting-software-review.toptenreviews.com/small-business/bookkeeper-review.html reviews many buying options BUT will not warn you about serious program flaws. It also has fake vendor links which redirect to companies like “Herman Street” which sell obsolete software at inflated prices lacking serial nos. and purchase documentation. Read as much as you can elsewhere and buy carefully (i.e., Amazon) Final word: I use Intuit for its merchant services, with which I am quite pleased. I bought Bookkeeper out of desperation and was somewhat prepared for it to be a throw-away or tax.write-off. It has succeeded. Based on reviews Ive read, and my personal experience with Intuit as a vendor, I strongly urge you to make the Intuit purchase. There are cloud and one-time ownership purchase options if you desire. Unless you have an accounting background, YOU MUST audition these programs first, because Intuit particularly, is very complex and will almost certainly require assistance with installing even the trial version (especially if you have no pre-existing software from which to import your data). ~~~~~~~ 5/7/2015 UPDATE: I contacted Avanquest two months after my purchase. This is their response: Thank you for contacting Avanquest Technical Support. We apologize for the inconvenience. BookKeeper version 11 is a discontinued version that we no longer support. We will not be able to help you. I have requested an up-to-date replacement, but was denied.

Promised a $10 rebate-----never materialized and I did send in every bit of necessary paper work. The product is unusable!!

its good for beginners, lots to learn, good if you are in a business made easy to follow, good for accounting student

Do not buy this software. Their website will not let me register my software and they have locked the program because its not registered. When I call to have them fix it, they want me to pay for tech support. They are now holding my tax information in the program hostage until I pay for tech support. Avoid this company at all cost!!!!!

It works once you get some kind of training, the one I purchased did not come with any book instructions.

good.

This product as made my life so much easier with logging my inventory and sales for my home based business.

Good product for your company.
