QuickBooks Pro 2005

When I bought this item I didnt realize that the seller was in Hawaii as Im on the island of Antigua a land mass and more miles to the east. The item arrived as if I had ordered it from Florida and was in perfect condition. The price was extremely reasonable and I would recommend the product and the seller to anyone.

I just started up a new business, QuickBooks has been a lifesaver. The instructions are very easy to understand and easy to use. Doing my book work is almost fun with QuickBooks.

I have been using QB Pro 2004 for over a year now. My main complaint is that online banking has been broken since installing (Its a credit card and a checking account...fairly simple, but cant get both to work at the same time. My QB-certified accountant cant get it to work either...if you want boring details, email me!) Youve already read about how bad the phone support is...my experience was no different, and they want to charge you for everything. Hey Intuit, why not make sure the software that your customers purchase WORKS at least ONCE before charging for support? I cant believe after all these years that some other software giant cant crush these guys with something basic and workable. After reading reviews of all the accounting packages, it still appears that QB is the least worst. ;-)

I used Dac Easy (Sage Software) for 6 years and just switched to Quick Books Pro. QBP is light years easier than Dac Easy. What took me so long?

Nutshell: Intuit and a company called Best Software are the only two firms producing small-business accounting software. Because of this, theyve split the market between them and are now engaging in monopolistic gouging. Each year, the price goes up. Each year, the service goes down. This will persist until an alternative appears. If you are considering making small-business accounting software, do it! Youll find lots of customers ready to switch. But back to Quickbooks: you have to upgrade every other year at a minimum - Intuit turns your software *off*. You have to buy a service contract to make it function - the list price above is NOT what youll end up paying. So if you buy this, understand that youre entering an endless upgrade cycle with no way to escape, and a company that can turn off your software, remotely, at any time, with no refunds. Enjoy!

I just purchased this product to upgrade my Quickbooks Pro 2003. Unfortunately, this will be my last purchase of an Intuit product after having been a loyal customer for 12 years. Why? Because Im being forced to upgrade by Intuit or lose my ability to run the payroll feature (which I already have to pay a $200/year subscription fee to use). I have enjoyed using both Quickbooks and Quicken, but forcing me to upgrade at gunpoint is not something that sits well with me. Sorry Intuit, but time for us to go our separate ways. BTW: thanks Amazon for offering the upgrade $50 cheaper than direct for Intuit...one more nail in the coffin for Intuit and one more reason to remain a very happy Amazon stockholder.

The item whas worked well. I was a little bit confused about the mail-in-rebate. It stated that I needed to have owned a previous version to get the rebate. The product is great though.

WHAT A BUNCH OF MONEY GRABBING IDIOTS! IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BUYING QUICKBOOKS, DONT!!!!!!! I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH A PRODUCT. THEY TAKE FEATURES AWAY, ESPECIALLY WITH PAYROLL, IF YOU DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS. THEN WHEN YOU CALL TO ASK WHAT IS GOING ON, THEY TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE NOT PURCHASED THEIR SUPPORT PROGRAM AND THAT THEY CANNOT HELP YOU!! I HATE QUICK BOOKS. THEIR IS NOTHING QUICK ABOUT IT AND THE SO CALLED SUPPORT STAFF ARE A BUNCH OF LIARS!!!

It would be nice if you spent time talking about the product instead of crying about customer service being outsourced. Oh and by the way - FirstUSA ALSO uses call centers in India - so problem still with John or Intuit?

our computer crashed and I was looking for a version to update and this was a great price - only problem is the older versions are not so well supported by Intuit but you can reistert hem to your name, even if it is a used product.
