Customer and Supplier Centres
The new Customer and Supplier Centres help QuickBooks customers get their customer and supplier-related information from a single, easy to use place. All information that belongs together is now presented together, making it easier for customers to view and act upon their data. Common tasks (such as viewing up-to-date information on a customer) will now be simpler and faster to accomplish.
 
   
 
Improved Accountant’s Copy
Improved Accountant’s Copy – Exchange, review and adjust your client’s prior period accounting using the all new Accountant’s Copy. While you work in the Accountant’s Copy, the client can continue to work in their QuickBooks file but is restricted from making changes to the periods in which you are working. Send your adjustments back to the client, and they can review and automatically integrate them into their QuickBooks file. Accountant’s Copy will then prompt them to password protect access to prior periods with the “Set Closing Date” feature.
 
     
 
“QuickZoom®” feature for Retained Earnings
The new “QuickZoom®” feature for Retained Earnings lets you instantly view details of Retained Earnings accounts from reports or the chart of accounts. You can now see manually posted transactions and automatic closing entries by simply double-clicking on the account balance!
 
     
 
Google Desktop™
Find information easily in QuickBooks with Google Desktop™ – Quickly search and find the customer, supplier, or financial data you want in QuickBooks. Type in a few key words and get a complete list of files that match your search in seconds.
 
     
 
Payroll Centre
The Payroll Centre provides an end-to-end view of your most important payroll tasks, from paying employees to reporting and paying liabilities and processing forms. The centre displays tax periods and a suggested workflow for the common payroll activities which are all accessible using a single mouse click.
 
     
 
VAT management and reporting
VAT management and reporting – Users can now opt to track VAT to separate sales and purchases VAT accounts. An additional benefit for QuickBooks Pro and Premier users is that all transactions on a Return are now date stamped (cash and invoice based schemes), and at the end of each period the VAT Liability account is automatically cleared.
