]]> Comment on The death knell for installable accounting software by Devan http://www.businessonsoftware.com/2010/01/20/the-death-knell-for-installable-accounting-software/comment-page-1/#comment-1160 Devan Wed, 20 Jan 2010 05:00:11 +0000 http://www.businessonsoftware.com/?p=140#comment-1160 Thanks for your comment Theresa. 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.

I've provided a lot of advice and righted a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you've posted makes perfect sense. Please keep up the good work - the more people know the better they'll be equipped to deal with the tax man, and that's what it's all about.
