QuickbooksIntuit A new version of QuickBooks, the world's top selling management software for small-businesses, has been launched specifically for professionals who charge for their time. QuickBooks Consultant(r), which requires no IT or accounting knowledge and uses industry language, enables professionals such as management consultants, surveyors, engineers, IT specialists and lawyers to manage their businesses more efficiently. Costing less than £200, it helps cashflow by tracking jobs, recording hours and ensuring that fee notes are sent accurately and on time.
Intuit's QuickBooks Consultant software has been created to meet the growing demand for a specialist product at an affordable price and follows in-depth research into the needs of consultancy-style small businesses. It comes complete with 30 days full support and a 60 day money-back guarantee.
Intuit MD, Stephen Lee, commented, "The last thing consultants and other professionals want to do after a productive day applying their specialist knowledge and advice is to spend time managing their business and balancing the books. QuickBooks Consultant contains no accounting jargon and does everything that is needed. It requires minimal input on their part and gives them a real understanding of where their business stands financially at any time."
QuickBooks Consultant builds on Intuit's tried and tested top-selling QuickBooks package with tools for budgeting, forecasting, billing, VAT tracking and payroll. Providing the ability to log time and charge it at different rates to different clients gives total flexibility on billing. Retainers can be set-up and automated so that an invoice automatically comprises of retainer, additional time and disbursements. QuickBooks Consultant also has reports which allow the user to see a snapshot of the status with a particular client or the profitability of a particular consultant on the team. Every team member can have a range of different hourly rates, depending on the type of work and the client, and once selected these rates automatically track through from proposal to invoice.
Stephen Lee, continued, "Many consultants, particularly in the fields of IT and management, find themselves in an increasingly competitive market, meaning that QuickBooks Consultant is an essential financial and business management business tool."
Additionally many small consulting firms work on multiple jobs simultaneously, requiring close management and the correct allocation of costs. QuickBooks Consultant offers job-costing reports designed to give them more insight by providing detailed information 'sliced and diced' in different ways. The reports are also designed to help consultants review and, perhaps more importantly, correct their rates. It will report time and expenses that are not assigned to a client, thereby avoiding costly omissions and boosting profit.
Consultant-specific estimating functions make it easier to get the most out of the proposals, and there is a job tracking feature which allows users to easily track changes to current work schedules and print updates for clients. These professionally printed forms, invoices and receipts also help to boost the professional image.

I have used 2 other packages(MYOB & Sage Instant Accounting) before switching to quickbooks pro.
Quickbooks is the easiest package to use, though I would avoid buying the 'simplestart' version, unless you have a very small cash only business.
