Hi everyone,<BR><BR>I am trying to source a Quickbooks package for my workplace and would like to ask about which one you all are using, which one would you all recommend for a small charity? <BR><BR>I was leaning towards Sage myself, however our Auditors have recommended Quickbooks as it's easier to use than Sage, having used Sage before I know next to nothing about Quickbooks and would appreciate any help you all can give me. <BR><BR>I have been on they website and printed off the comparisons of all they products and they have something called "Nonprofit-Specific Financial Software, Quickbooks: Online Edition, Quickbooks: Pro 2005 & Quickbooks: Basic 2005" Our company requirements are to carry on the Payroll function, Invoicing & Reports. <BR><BR>I would like to call Quickbooks up but they are in America and wouldn't like to run up the company's phone bill, lol.<BR><BR>Thank you for your help.<BR><BR>Nafisa <BR>

    I am surprised at Auditors recommending Quickbooks over Sage. Are they agents for Q/books? I would stick with Sage.

    Hi Nafisa,<BR><BR>I too would stick with Sage. I was able to design my own chart of accounts in Sage specifically for my charity organisation; it works fine and the auditors like it.<BR><BR>Chris

    I used Quickbook 2003 payroll, it's very confused and the customer services are not very helpful. They are trying to get you pay for the Technical support services.

    I work for a small charity/rest home and we use SAGE line 50, with no problems, and pay annually for support package which has always been very good.

    Hi Nafisa<BR><BR>I too work for a charity. We are very happily using Quickbooks. We do not however do our own payroll, so I'm not sure how that would work.<BR><BR>Personally I prefer Quickbooks over Sage. I foudn it very easy to set up and easy to learn.<BR><BR>Pass.co.uk in London run some very good courses to enable you to convert your data and start up the package.<BR><BR>Hope this helps<BR><BR>Alison<BR>
