4.0 out of 5 stars Very simple but very limited, March 23, 2005

By	kc "kc31824" (stamford, ct USA) - See all my reviews

This is as advertised. Super simple to get started with accounting for a very basic business. It took about 5-10 minutes to load, walked me through half a dozen basic questions, and was ready to start taking bank account entries and categorize them. I was also able to set up a business credit card to track expenses there and enter things very easily.

The simplicity however comes with a real lack of flexibility for anything more involved. Within the first 30 mintues I was already noticing features missing that I would like, and found myself needing to upgrade to a more complete version of Quickbooks. For instance, expenses are only single level -- you can't have subcategories for expenses. Credit card entries can't have memo fields to remind you what the expense was (checks can however). Etc.

I imagine if you have a business with a very limited set of vendors and customers, and you have little need to categorize your expenses in too complicated a way, this program could be sufficient for your needs. It also is an easy first step into accounting software -- but I would probably start with the expectation that you'll have to upgrade.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners, finicky interface, September 25, 2005

By	Kevin P. Barbee (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like QuickBooks basic because it does everything I need and is simple to use. It's help feature when deciding how to categorize expenses is good. Some things are a little difficult to get the hang of (such as how to enter invoices, etc.) but it does a lot and is worth the price if you need to organize your small business finances.

4.0 out of 5 stars Why would you pay for this when you can download it free!, October 1, 2008

By	Crystalys (Phoenix) - See all my reviews

I downloaded this for free at the Intuit website and it is perfect for what I need it for. I use it to keep track of my son's baseball team finances. I can create invoices and record parent's payments, bank deposits and team expenses. If you have a regular business though, I would go for something more advanced.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't support Quickbooks Transaction import!
I got this because I use PayPal and Quicken doesn't support importing QIF files, and I thought it would be useful to get on Quickbooks anyway. Read more
