4 out of 5 stars Essential? I would think so.   October 6, 2008
I have in the past had a somewhat tortured relationship with Quickbooks. I really could not get a handle on the package!

This lite version is therefore an essential repackaging of the Quickbooks product line. It doesn't need night school and an economics degree to get to work, and is certainly going to be the ideal starter point for those people with new businesses.

Keep It Simple, Stupid. The KISS rule is so often just what a new business needs and Quickbooks SimpleStart adheres to that. Simple to install, simple to start keeping acounts and a great lead-in product to later more complicated accounting packages as a business grows.



3 out of 5 stars simple and easy to use   October 5, 2008
This a a simple easy to use little item! I am not starting a business but if i were starting out, and cost were really important, and keep records then i would go for this. The last thing you want is to lay out for expensive items if they are no use.


3 out of 5 stars cheap and cheerful   October 2, 2008
Like most well behaved software, Quickbooks checks for critical updates actually before starting to install. However, on being uninstalled (a standard procedure for me when trying out any new software) if leaves pieces of itself scattered all over the registry. I also don't like the fact that registering the product needs both your name and your postcode rather than the usual email address. Any time the software is installed on a new computer the registration details have to be changed... Too much information in unknown hands.

Right, that's the gripes over. What we've got here is accounts for dummies (like me). Although I'm only using it to track my own household income/expenditure, it's easy enough to see how my superficial use of it could be built up into running a small business. And at its current price (over 50% off the retail price of 50) what's to lose?



4 out of 5 stars Easy to set up and use for novice   September 26, 2008
I quite liked this product. In comparison to another leader in accounting software quickbooks is very user friendly, easy to set up and easy to use. The software helps you through the accounts in a straightforward easy to understand manner. Ideal for the small business. However, I always thinnk that some knowledge in accounts is always beneficial. I think this product is fine for the small simple business but too basic for some businesses. It is the perfect solution for a new start up which is really what this product is aimed at. As an accountant myself I would highly recommend Quickbooks in preference to the main other competitive product (no names mentioned!)


4 out of 5 stars Does everything I need....   September 25, 2008
....and for a lot less than the Pro version. I recommend going to the Intuit website to find out if it has all the options and functions you need, but for a small (i.e. home-based) business it is ideal.

Installation was trouble free and it is quick and easy to navigate.
