Peachtree Software Review
Do any of these questions pertain to you or your firm?
- Are you a solo or smaller sized law firm looking to automate your accounting records?
- Is your current accounting software just not making the grade?
- Would you like a choice of payroll service plans and options?
- Looking for a comprehensive and reasonably priced accounting software product?
- Do you want web based accounting functionality?
- Are you a current Peachtree user deciding whether to upgrade or a former unhappy user deciding whether to try Peachtree again?
If your answer is “yes” to any one of these questions, then take a look at Peachtree accounting software. Peachtree software has been on the market for more than 25 years, and while in recent times it has played second string to QuickBooks, it doesn't have to anymore. Since this product line was acquired by Best Software, the maker of Timeslips, Peachtree has been transformed from the ugly duckling to the beautiful swan. Best Software has invested time and money into developing a scalable, feature rich, easy to use accounting product that more than favorably compares with QuickBooks, MYOB and other products in this category. Many of the new features that were added to version 2004 and 2005 have come directly from client input and through its certified consultant's network.
In 2003, a user could choose only from Peachtree First Accounting, Peachtree Accounting or the Complete Version. In 2004, Best introduced additional software products such as Premium Accounting and Peachtree Premium Accounting (Accountant's Edition) which enables a firm to choose a product that closely matches their needs and pocketbook. In addition, Version 2004 offers additional industry solutions for those users who needed enhanced distribution, manufacturing or non-profit capabilities. Also, for those users who required additional reporting capabilities, Crystal Reports can be ordered either as an add-on, or comes bundled with higher level products. With Peachtree 2005, Best Software is continuing the tradition of offering its client's scalable product choices, with new features available for each product level, including web based accounting and payroll services options too.
