Achieve Better Results
QuickBooks Premier helps you easily create a business
plan, step-by-step, using your existing QuickBooks data
and answers to simple questions. A pro forma balance
sheet, profit and loss statement, and statement of cash
flow will automatically be projected for the next three
years. The business plan is based on the format
recommended by the U.S. Small Business Administration
for loan applications or lines of credit.
 |
You can automatically create an annual forecast of
income and expenses using your QuickBooks data. Easily
adjust forecast numbers by applying a percentage
increase or decrease across a line item. Later, you can
compare your forecast to your actual results.

Help Improve Profitability
The Expert Analysis Tool allows you to assess
performance trends for your company in important areas,
including profits, sales, borrowing, and liquidity. The
tool gives you a written assessment and offers helpful
tips. It is updated with current industry data for more
than 130 industries, so you can compare how you are
performing to companies with similar revenues in your
industry. Plus, you can compare one time period to
another and reveal trends.

QuickBooks helps you predict your cash flow for the next six
weeks, using your QuickBooks data and your answers to simple
questions. Easily view your projected "available to
spend" weekly cash balance in a printable report. Also try
out several "what if?" scenarios to see how making
changes to your receipts and disbursements could affect your
weekly cash balance.
Have Greater Control Over Data |
Set user permissions to restrict access to your
confidential and sensitive financial information. This
feature is especially useful if your business has
multiple users of QuickBooks, and you want to restrict
access by user to parts of your financial data.
QuickBooks allows you to password-protect your closing
date. You can easily see any changes made before the
password-protected closing date in a convenient report.
The report shows you who (using the password) has made
what changes.
Meet More Specialized or Complex Needs |
|
Track both individual inventory items, including
components and raw materials, and "assemblies"
such as combined inventory items, finished goods, or
products that you sell. You an easily define the
assemblies you wish to track in QuickBooks, and you can
easily assign a unique sales price. Plus, you can set
alerts to remind you when you need to build new
assemblies.
 |
Create sales orders to help you track what you owe customers
more accurately. Easily track what orders you need to fulfill
without affecting accounts receivable. A new report makes it
easy to see the quantity already invoiced, so you know what you
still owe each customer.
The new Fixed Asset Tracker helps you keep track of
fixed assets, such as equipment, trucks, cash registers,
and computers, for tax purposes. You can track important
details such as asset name, serial number, acquisition
date, and disposal date and use it to calculate
depreciation and tax benefits.

Enjoy the functionality you have in your office,
including inputting data, without being tied to your
desk. Remote access powered by WebEx™ is free for one
Premier user for the first 12 months.
You can work on your QuickBooks file from any remote PC
that can connect to the Internet, as long as your office
PC is turned on and has a persistent connection to the
Internet, even if it isn't running QuickBooks.

Use Features and Improvements Suggested by Users |
More flexible price levels enable you to set the exact
prices you want to charge each customer for each item
you sell. Setting price levels per item helps you save
time, reduce errors, and increase profits by recognizing
loyal customers with specialized service.
|
Quickly and easily copy and paste entire addresses, rather than
having to cut, copy, and paste just one line at a time. Export
address lists more easily to Microsoft® Excel, since each line
of
the address exports to a different column.
Now you can easily reconcile your accounts, plus you can undo
a
previous reconcile in one click. Easily customize the layout of
the reconcile screen, and an improved reconcile discrepancy
report shows you changes and deletions made to previously
reconciled transactions.
Get an alert when creating an invoice if you have any
outstanding
time or expenses to help avoid under-billing. Plus,
you can easily
bring over both item descriptions and notes to
invoices, so
customers can clearly see what you are billing them
for.
