I have found this to be the best GAAP accounting software available. In responce to the vetrinary clinc review. I'm not sure why you've had so much trouble I've found Peachtree's support to awesome, great techs with above average knowledge.
I guess you MUST first understand accounting before using this product. I highly recommend this product for start up companies.

This is a simple, yet impressive product. We switched to Peachtree from MAS90 when we downsized. It costs only a 10th of what MAS90 cost, but compares very well. In some ways better, like Payroll. Anyone that can't balance their accounts with this product has a poor understanding of running a business, and using accounting software. It certainly does not have the features that larger companies need, but if you do less than $5,000,000 per year in sales, and won't grow past 6 or 7 users, then this is a good buy for many types of businesses. Especially because it has a great import/export wizard, to help you get it going, and then later to migrate out of it if you grow!

I found Peachtree Complete 2004 to be an excellent product for my small business. The set up program made it very easy to get started and with all the sample information already in the product, it was very easy to copy the information to set up my own books. The fact that it automatically converted my information from QuickBooks made it even easier. The support plan seems a little pricey, but well worth it. The support technicians were eager to help and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend this product.

I don't know who wrote the reviews which rated this product above 1 star but they must work for Peachtree. An accounting system that does not even let you change the due date on a customer invoice after it is entered is no accounting system. Peachtree's answer to this and other short comings is, "You should buy our top of the line system."

I urge anyone considering this system to purchase to reconsider.

Save your money and buy something else, anything else,-but DO NOT buy this software. I have a small veterinary clinic (start-up) and this program will not even let me balance my accounts w/o a major hassle. Even the smallest task takes forever and more complicated ones are a nightmare. As for Peachtree's support, little to no help online and to speak with a live body you had better be prepared to cough up $200 for 3 mos of LIMITED support. What a joke. Save you money.

This software and some others in the line are like the cars from the 80's, use old technologies. The design is old and look and feel is old as well! I would think as if I was driving an 80's car when I used a newer technology software. Now is a time to use software that use .Net technology.
