Well just wait and you will see why making a move might be right for your company.

Why Make the Switch from QuickBooks?

You may wonder why you should switch from QuickBooks when it has long been the industry standard for ERP solutions for small businesses. Well, it's simple; your company has outgrown it in some vital way. It’s hard to see what’s out there when we are comfortable with what we have. The same pastry and coffee each morning is comfortable, but try a latte and pumpkin bread and you may never switch back. The same goes with QuickBooks—it’s easy and you know how to use it—but when you look at what you may be missing, it’s easier to think of making a change. Here are just a few of the reasons some companies are switching:

  1. The need for customizable reporting
  2. The need for stronger security
  3. The need for larger files
  4. The ability for multiple users to be on the software at the same time
  5. The need for a product that will grow with the company
  6. The need for more product support

This doesn't mean QuickBooks is a bad product. In fact, some say no other business software has offered as much value to so many small businesses at such a low price as QuickBooks has. It just means it's time for a change to grow as your business does.
