Peachtree Complete is one of the most popular business accounting software packages in use today - it is a large and very specialized program, and many people that use it aren't tertiary trained in accounting or cash management. So naturally there are quite a few questions that pop up about the program from small business accounting departments - here we go through some of the most common.
Can I convert to Peachtree Accounting from Quicken or Quickbooks?
From Peachtree Complete 2010, there is greatly improved support for switching from Quickbooks. Quicken, unfortunately, is not covered - however your business software trainer and installer may be able to think of a few workarounds to save you months of data re-entry! You can only convert from Quickbooks 2006-2009.
How scalable is Peachtree?
Funny question - nice pun! Peachtree is completely scalable - just don't knock off the fruit! It is very easy to scale up through the different levels of complexity of features that are needed - and it is just as easy to downgrade if you change your business model and find that your program features are no longer needed.
Can I upgrade from an earlier version of Peachtree without trouble?
As of 2007, Peachtree Complete software has been built on a Pervasive database. The reason that some earlier upgrades weren't as pain-free as we would have liked is because of the database switch. There is aplenty of expert help available if you need to upgrade from a version earlier than 2006, however.
Why is Peachtree Complete better than Quickbooks?
Well! There will always be people on either side of the fence on this one, and truthfully, tghere are reasons to get either pprogram. However, the reason we recommend Peachtree business software to some business owners is because:
- Immense functionality in job costing, billing and time, fixed assets and inventory
- There are plenty of internet tools
- The setup is flexible
- The system includes advanced analysis tools
