This is a great product for the small business owner. Great features for the small contractor to keep everything in line. There is a learning curve for sure. Intuit is one of these profit driven mega companies that have taken their tech support to India and Pakistan. Be prepared to deal with rude "by the book" people who can barely speak english. Be prepared to re-read your instruction manuel because these folks are of little help in any. 30 Day free Tech support is a Joke!

I have used Quicken for many years and have found it to be so easy to use so when we opened a new contracting business I turned to Intuit. This software claims to be geared toward contractors and easy to set up. It somewhat meets the first claim but after working with the software for about 4 weeks now, I still don't have the first transaction entered and would return it if I could!

In the description this product states "good for up to 5 users" - TRUE -- But only one user at a time. Guess that part was written in the tiny legalese stuff that nobody reads. So we had to buy additional licenses at $350 a pop - about the same price that we paid for the program. Felt like I got ripped off as I wanted to use in my office where 3 of us need to use it at the same time, like during normal business hours!!!!

I don't know what we were waiting for (except maybe to give Intuit more time to work the bugs out). We purchased the Contractor's edition of 2007, and the changes over 2004 are very good. I've also used 2006, and like this edition even better. Instead of having to switch between pages, everything you need is on the home screen, which you can customize to your own liking. (I still need to work on that some more.) That makes this edition much more user-friendly.

The upgrade was seamless -- so much so, in fact, that I inherited all of the messy stuff created by previous bookkeepers. I had a little inside help from my brother, who works for Intuit. I'm enjoying learning all of the possibilities for integrating all of my tasks (tracking expenses for various projects separately in Excel will hopefully go by the wayside soon!).

Thanks, Intuit, for a great product! And of course, Amazon's customer service was awesome as always!

Easy to use even for an inexperianced computer user. Easy access to accounts and customers. Over all a solid program and definite asset to the company

This software seems easy to use, however I thought it would benifit an independant contractor more. The only thing that would have been semi-helpful is estimates and invoices but those things could be easily accomplished in an Excel Spreadsheet for a lot less $.

Great product but they make money upon billing you $250+ every year to continue use of their program! What a joke!
