I recently found an article online for which I was compelled to post a comment. The article basically said you need to make sure you know what software to purchase for use in your business before you buy it. I totally agree!

Here’s what I commented to the editor:

As an Advanced QuickBooks ProAdvisor at QuickTrainer Inc. in Wilmington, NC,  I agree with your comment:

“The point is, what cloud computing software does should not dictate what your business does,” says Parker. “You have to know what you need and sensibly adopt from there. It has to make sense.”

Before a business buys an accounting software package, they need to make sure it will do what they need it to do. We’ve run across several small businesses that have purchased the QuickBooks Simple Start version and quickly end up needing more capability than it offers.

Business owners: Do the due diligence before buying!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make sure you know what you are buying before you buy. You can always go to the QuickBooks website and compare the different versions.
