Certainly, I think it would be great for advisors and accountants to have proper, registered versions of the software installed for the sake of their clients, but I think the management of the differing versions needed for different clients would rapidly become a nightmare? What Reckon needs to do is to increase the transparency between versions and make it a lot more seamless for data to flow back and forth between end user and advisor. On a side note - we give our own accountant a direct login to our Xero system so she can log in and look at our data anytime, in real time. No import/export needed at all...

Considering the volume of small business owners who use Quickbooks I would think it would be a wise decision to do so, as well as have a local QB advisor to assist them. It's like being recruited to move your account to a new small bank...my first question would be "do you offer a Quickbooks (not Quicken) download?" If not, sorry.
