QuickBooks 2011 and QuickBooks 2012: Multicurrency, Online Banking

What are the benefits of QuickBooks Pro and QuickBooks Premier 2009?  There are some great new features in the latest version of QuickBooks 2009, so I’ve compiled a short list of a few top features that I like.  If you are on an older version of QuickBooks (QuickBooks 2006 or 2007) you should consider upgrading.

1.  Business Intelligence in QuickBooks Pro 2012: allows you to get a real-time overview of your business, such as customers who owe you money, bills to be paid, and reminders-all on one screen.

2.  Multi Currency / Foreign Currency: Track your finances at home and abroad with support for multiple currencies. QuickBooks Pro 2008 handles all your international currency accounting automatically for all global currencies, and even downloads exchange rates right into QuickBooks.

3.  Online Banking in QuickBooks 2012: Easily download transactions from your bank account or credit card directly into QuickBooks. Get a complete financial picture of cleared bank transactions and pending QuickBooks transactions, all in one place.

Benefits of QuickBooks Pro 2011 and QuickBooks 2012: Multi Currency

This post is kicking off a series of articles about the benefits of QuickBooks 2011 and QuickBooks 2012. With great new features, I’d say this new version of QuickBooks accounting software is one of the best ever release by Intuit. One of the best features is multi-currency support. Data from Intuit shows that by 2018 almost half the small businesses in the U.S. will be participants in global trade. The globalization of small business sourcing and sales has created the need for multi-currency support in accounting software–a problem QuickBooks 2009 solves well. Eliminating the need to manually account for foreign transactions will save for small businesses that do significant trade across international borders. In addition, QuickBooks 2009 users can also connect directly to the QuickBooks international payment service, making it easy to process wire transfers and drafts in more than 100 foreign currencies right from within the QuickBooks accounting software.

“Intuit QuickBooks 2009 is one of our best releases in years, giving small businesses more reasons to be optimistic even in tough economic times,” said Rick Jensen the head of Intuit’s small business division. “The powerful new features help small businesses become more productive while finding new ways to make money and succeed in a global economy.”
