Question:

For the type of business that most of us will be running (small, home-based) would you recommend using Quickbooks Simple Start or Quickbooks Pro?

Answer:

I recommend QuickBooks Pro. It takes some time to learn, but it’s highly sophisticated and one you learn it, it will grow with you.

When I started with it about 4 years ago, it was WAY more powerful than I needed, so I only used part of the features. Now that my business has grown, I use more of the features–but there’s plenty more to learn and use. I also recommend getting some support on learning it. There are many classes available (some free) and then there are people who are certified QuickBooks Pro Advisors, like Marie Gibson, who I’ve used. (marie@marie-gibson.com).

Thanks!
