What do you like about this subject?
It helps to give the business owner an accurate view of the financial status of the company.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
Many times CPA's want the books set up only to aid them in tax preparation and QuickBooks® can do so much more for the business owner. Correctly set up it will help the owner get a firm overall view of their business and aid them in making proper financial decisions. It also integrates with hundreds of other business applications.
